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 children in the bilingual program, children who receive instruction in English and Spanish daily. Our school is a Title I school where more than 95% of students qualify for free lunch.

Today, after the pandemic, many of the learning resources and games are digital, which takes them away from motor activities and peer interactions.

Many of my students have never played a board game with family or friends before. The goal of these games is to get them away from screens and allow them to practice their social skills.
