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

All of our students want to learn. However, many times in-classroom lectures, packets, and textbook reading all day came bring stress, restlessness, and lack stimulation. Thankfully, students can enhance critical thinking skills through strategic planning in board games. Additionally, they can develop problem-solving skills by analyzing different scenarios which can be beneficial for academic tasks requiring analytical thinking. They can also improve social skills by interacting with peers in a cooperative or competitive setting in a stress free environment. In real-world situations, board games can improve teamwork and communication skills, essential for collaborating effectively in various environments.
