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 want to create a learning environment that is engaging and keeps students interested in school! Breakout Box Challenges and Escape Rooms are the perfect way to do that! This project will fund a variety of interactive game experiences in my classroom, including the chance for students to create their very own escape room challenge!

Students learn best when learning is fun!

This project helps make that a reality for my students. Students will be able to solve and create a variety of puzzles to learn about colleges and careers in their AVID class. They will use their imagination and will have fun, all while learning the content!

Mrs. Hatcher
Grades 9-12
