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

There have been many challenges in education post-pandemic but one that I have noticed recently is the limited experience that students have with puzzles and hands-on games.

My goal is to provide experiences for every learner through learning games and puzzles.

My students love to move and use their creativity with our STEM toys. I believe that having access to reading, math and science puzzles would add so much value to our every day learning. Not only would my students get access to hands-on games that would improve their motor skills, but they would also be able to socialize with their peers while learning something new.

With your help, I look forward to providing these experiences for my students!
