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 7th, 8th and 9th graders who love learning Portuguese. Although they like learning and practicing, some grammatical rules can be tough for them. I've come with some game ideas that can help them practice vocabulary and sentence structures even more, and, in a fun way.

By donating to our project, you will be helping to create a fun and safe space for learning.

I am asking for Guess Who games, so students can practice describing people and making questions in Portuguese. I am also asking for materials to create some Escape Room challenges, so students can practice language while solving problems and practicing critical thinking skills.

I really need your support to put those fun activities in practice! Thanks.

Mrs. Bender
Grades 6-8
