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

Chicago winters can be brutal, and our students need your help to make indoor recess a blast! I'm reaching out to request support for fun and engaging indoor recess activities that guarantee a good time during those chilly breaks.

Indoor recess is particularly challenging for my students due to the limited options available.

By introducing a variety of games, we aim to provide them with numerous alternatives to keep the fun alive during indoor recess. This not only combats boredom but also promotes collaboration among students.

Collaborative indoor recess experiences lead to deeper learning, improved self-esteem, and the development of an understanding of diverse perspectives. Your support will make it possible to offer these enriching experiences to my students!
