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

I teach an incredible group of 2nd-grade students who bring curiosity, energy, and creativity into our classroom every day. When the weather keeps us inside for recess, it’s so important to offer meaningful ways for students to recharge, connect, and have fun together.

That’s why I’m requesting a variety of indoor games and activities—plus storage solutions to keep everything neat and accessible.

With your support, our classroom will receive:

Fun and engaging games like Tenzi, Jenga, Guess Who, and puzzles.

Creative building options like Legos.

Sturdy storage containers to keep games organized and easy for students to use.
