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

My students are enthusiastic and engaged learners, but dealing with COVID has led to a lot of isolation and trauma, which makes it more challenging for many of our students to regulate their emotional responses and connect easily with other kids.

We run a STEAM lab in the library during lunch recess, and this project will help me provide a wider selection of games that encourage creative thinking, cooperation, and teamwork.

What's more, the increased variety of activities will draw more students in to try something new, leading to more connections between our students.
