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

Students are so enthralled with technology that they are not as familiar with traditional toys. As a reward for completing their work, our students have Fun Friday each week. I want to provide engaging games that motivate them to get to that Fun Friday time.

Let's bring back creativity through art and building toys.

I'm committed to keeping Chromebooks out of rainy day recess and Fun Friday time. Students look forward to playing with toys that they don't have at home. These games and requested toys allow students to use creativity and logic while having fun without technology. Please help me bring new toys to my classroom to encourage creativity, cooperation, and fun!
