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

My second graders are a group of outspoken, curious, playful and smart students who come from very diverse social, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. They love reading, learning and playing games to learn about the world around them. In addition, they really enjoy learning through interactive lessons, games and/or group activities.

Unfortunately, our class games are either broken or outdated; this has prevented us from incorporating more games into our routine and as result, it has limited our chances to practice cooperation a good citizenship while playing/learning together.

We need new classroom games to help us continue becoming better learners/teachers while we practice active listening, sharing and other group work strategies, as we play. Consequently, this would help us to be more patient, to be able to express our ideas/ feelings more clearly and to support/motivate each other into achieving our greatest potential.

Please help our class to continue to nurture their love of learning and team work while staying in touch with the world around them and growing academically. We will truly appreciate your donations!
