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 very energetics eight- and nine-year-olds, who love to explore the world around them! This project will provide me with the opportunity to give them ways to explore learning in a hands-on environment, as well as learning how to work together. They are having fun, but they are also learning problem-solving, team playing, strategies, and time management. I want to provide my students the chance to learn how to play board games so they can develop their social skills and competitiveness while also having fun learning. Playing board games is a simple way for students to get quality, screen-free time with their friends.
