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 7th grade Science in a Title One middle school in Southern CA. My students have worked really hard to learn the concepts we've studied this year and we're coming up on end-of -year testing which is a challenging time for any student. Mine are no different and I'd like to get some materials to play games and get their energy out after testing ends each day.

Help my middle schoolers get their energy out after being inside and on screens all morning!

Students spend so much of their days on screens and it's magnified during the testing season. Getting them games and other materials to get their energy out is good for their brains and bodies.
