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

A grant to buy board games for fourth graders is like bringing joy and learning together. When it is raining outside and we need to stay inside for indoor recess, the kids love to play board games together. These games are more than just fun; they teach important skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and how to be a good sport. When kids play board games in the classroom, they not only get smarter but also make friends and have a great time.

Imagine the smiles on their faces as they roll the dice, move their game pieces, and celebrate victories together.

Board games Qwirkle, Candy Lane, and UNO make learning feel like an adventure. This grant would make sure every fourth grader gets to be a part of it. It's a happy investment in their happiness and education!
