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 Dual third-grade classes are full of wonderful students, and together we believe that we can learn by playing.

Therefore, I would love to have materials in the class that they can use during inside recesses that are fun for them, but at the same time help them develop their skills at solving problems, making predictions, trying new ways to solve a puzzle, using strategies to work as a team, etc.

It would be wonderful to continue learning with recreational activities during the days when the weather does not allow going out to play.
