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

Introducing board games in the library aims to enhance students' cognitive abilities, critical thinking, and social skills through interactive play.

The project's goals include fostering a love for learning, promoting teamwork, and providing an alternative, engaging approach to education that goes beyond traditional methods.

My project will also be used as an incentive for meeting reading goals and inspire students to want to read more books

. My students come from low economic and strong spanish speaking households. Boardgames will help them to look forward to playing fun games while at the same time practicing their reading skills.
