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 Students

My students are wonderful hardworking 5th graders that live in a low socioeconomic community in California. Even though they're up against the odds, they show up every day eager to learn and work. My students are still at an age where they are passionate about learning and curious about the world. Being from a poor community, many of my students aren't given the opportunity to learn through play. This is evident on rainy days. On rainy days, my students have to stay indoors during recess and lunch. I have a minimal supply of games for my students to play. Unfortunately, our school isn't able to provide them with the resources they need either because of budget restrictions. I believe that students need time to play and socialize throughout the day in order to perform better during school.

My Project

During rainy days my students have to stay in class. I want to give them the opportunity to have a brain break by playing these board games during recess on rainy days. When students aren't give the opportunity to play, they tend to be distracted during classwork. These games will give all of my students options on what they want to play. We currently don't have any games to play during rainy days. These games, such as Monopoly and Headbanz, are educational and will help them work on their social and language skills. They will also teach my students to use different strategies and think critically. All of these games will teach my students cooperative play and problem solving.
