Help me give my students access to hands on learning FUN and rigorous resources!

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

These games and resources will get my gifted students thinking and work their brain power! Many of my students are not native speakers, so having hands-on games are essential in having the student show me their thinking without having to speak a word of English. It will allow them to take risks and soar - without a language barrier. I will be using these games for small group enrichment, specifically with those students who need an extra push to unlock their genius within. My school currently needs more inventory of gifted games and supplies. I seek to provide lots of games and materials to execute new and excited learning lessons.
