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

As we have gotten started with reviewing for our state testing, I have taken time to help teachers by coordinating group games to make reviewing the material much more fun. I've been able to manage with no real issues, but realize that some of the materials I need to facilitate the group games and activities a bit more smoothly, the teachers don't have. In order to be fully prepared, I feel it would be easier for me to come with all of the necessary supplies, rather than relying on the cooperating teachers, which in turn gives them less to have to worry about.

Learning should be fun and collaborative!

The materials I am requesting such as the large visual timers, whiteboard erasers, grouping sticks, and beach balls are all to be used to play review games, provide supplies that I find some teachers don't have enough of, and to limit the amount of technology I need to facilitate. I love making learning fun!
