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

The sports equipment will give my students an outlet for physical activity, teamwork, and movement breaks. The board games will help build social skills, strategic thinking, and classroom community during indoor recess or reward time. Headphones are essential tools for helping students stay focused during independent learning and when using digital resources. The snacks ensure that no child is too hungry to learn, especially during long days when energy and focus start to fade.

These items may seem simple, but they will make a big impact in our daily routines, classroom environment, and student success.

Thank you for helping bring joy to my classroom.
