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 6-7-year-old 1st-graders who love to work with puzzles! Puzzles help develop their self-confidence, teamwork, camaraderie, and are great relaxation tools to help my students have a mental break after all the learning we will be doing.

I would love to provide my students with some puzzles to continue fostering their problem-solving skills, fine motor skills, visual-spatial reasoning, and many more important lifelong skills.

Puzzles are an excellent way to learn through play. Puzzles will provide opportunities to work cooperatively. They will learn to problem solve and develop memory skills! Thank you for considering a donation to my project and bringing amazing tools into my classroom.
