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

Help give us some fun activities to do this year. This is our last year in elementary school and we know the work will be a challenge, but we want to have some fun!

My class this year is so sweet and kind, and we had our first Fun Friday and I was shocked at how excited they were for board games!

So here I am, looking to purachse more fun activities to use as an incentive for hard work. I love reading the book "Our class is Family" and I tell my students I want them to feel that. Thank you for helping me create a little home away from home for them while they are at school!
