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

Imagine a classroom where excitement is in the air, learning feels like a thrilling adventure, and rewards are more than just stickers. That's the class I'm creating for our immigrant 4th graders with your help! I'm requesting a Nintendo Switch – OLED Model with educational and engaging games to fuel motivation, brain breaks, and celebratory moments.

Students will engage in learning; the positive reward will encourage them to make good choices throughout the day.

I plan to have short bursts of gameplay during the day so students can refresh their minds, boost focus, and improve memory. Additionally, there are many educational games in different subjects students will enjoy. Students can develop their English Language, acquisition, teamwork, and game strategy.

Students will share exciting game moments, building classroom community and creating lasting memories without realizing how much language learning is taking place. Imagine the cheers erupting when a student finally levels up!
