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 students are amazing. The one issue we have run into in regards of technology, is students are distracted by their phone to the point where they aren't sure of what to communicate or discuss.

Board games will increase communication, socialization & brain power!

Having these board games in the classroom will help students stay off their phone when there is down time during the day!

The art pads are for my students that have an artistic side and would prefer drawing over games. The art sticky notes are to help enhance the classroom with color and positivity!
