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

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity, and the joy they bring into the classroom each day. These games help students strengthen social skills, build resilience, and practice critical thinking in a hands-on, engaging way. Whether it’s taking turns in Uno,strategizing in Connect 4, or asking questions in Guess Who, students are learning how to collaborate, think ahead, and enjoy meaningful time with their peers.

These resources will help create a welcoming and supportive classroom environment where learning feels joyful and connections grow stronger every day.
