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 have a great group of students this year. They are fun, inquisitive, polite, and quick learners. They are tech savvy, but what I would like to provide them are basic board games to practice their interpersonal social connectivity and game strategy skills.

Rainy day recesses are great for board games.

When the students are inside because of inclement weather, I would like to give them board game options instead of having them jump onto their computers. These board game choices will encourage friendly competition through strategy, logic, and reasoning skills in addition to being fun and engaging.

I'd like to provide basic board games that will help them connect socially while still using processing and logic skills. These games will be used for future classes to come.
