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

Do you remember the joy you felt as a child when you played games that were both challenging and fun? My Gifted Program students are beginning to discover that joy through Chess and other challenging games which will help develop their logical Mathematical skills.

My students come from 4 schools to our Gifted center in Florida which is in a low socioeconomic area.

They are highly capable learners that need some motivational activities to help challenge them. Many of the students get bored in the general education setting and come to Gifted once a week. They expect to be involved with materials, resources and hands-on projects.

My Project

With these game sets and incentives, the students will be motivated to do better. My students will learn logical math skills, strategies, and thinking techniques. We have a cabinet of puzzles but our Chess board is missing some pieces. By purchasing more Chess boards my Gifted students will be able to play each other and not fight over the only Chess set we have currently.

Your donation will help meet the needs of over 40 Gifted learners from diverse backgrounds.

Bright Minds need bright hands-on learning tools! By having these new materials, my students will be able to sharpen their bright minds and their pencils!
