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

I teach first grade at a two-way immersion school where both native Spanish speakers and native English speakers come together to learn a new language from one another. My sweet, bilingual students are hard-working, kind, and a joy to teach. I am so proud to be their teacher!

I want to provide my students with fun games to help them practice social-emotional skills.

Due to the COVID pandemic, this is the first normal year of school my first graders have had. Their preschool year was taught mostly through virtual learning, and throughout kindergarten, they were required to be masked and socially distant from one another. For this reason, I want to provide my kids with games to practice social and emotional skills. Games can teach students a large range of social and emotional skills. It teaches them to take turns, win or lose graciously, think critically, and experience a range of emotions. I would like to have a variety of games on hand in the classroom for students to learn and practice social-emotional skills. These games will be used during indoor recess, as well as during our "Fun Friday" free time.
