Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our classroom is full of curious minds and creative energy! To keep our students engaged and excited about learning, we're building hands-on centers that make every moment count—and what better way to do that than with board games and puzzles?

With your help, we can provide a variety of educational games and puzzles that promote critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.

These resources will be used during small group centers, after school clubs, and designated "brain break" times to reinforce academic skills while keeping learning fun.

From classic favorites like Connect 4 and Chutes and Ladders, to logic puzzles and cooperative games, each item will help our students build social-emotional skills, strengthen their focus, and enjoy the process of learning through play. Your support will help us create a joyful, inclusive, and engaging classroom environment where every student can thrive.

Thank you for helping us put more smiles—and more learning—into our day!
