Celebrating 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.
I teach a great class of students within the Paterson Public School system. All of my students happen to be on the autism spectrum. I am inspired every day by my students' enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. The look of pride on their faces when they master the skills they are learning is priceless. I love coming to work every day. I have truly been blessed to be able to share in my students' learning journey! They have proven capable of so much more than most people have given them credit for. With your support, the sky is truly the limit for my students.
My Project
Fidget toys are self-regulation tools to help with focus, attention, calming, and active listening. Research on fidgets shows that if movement can be directed, it can enhance learning.
By providing fidgets and sensory seating for my students, you can help channel their sensory seeking behavior into more focused and productive learning.
The fidgets and sensory seating you provide will help me create a classroom that meets the needs of my students who are looking for an outlet for their quest for movement and sensory input. Providing an accepted sensory outlet will reduce student stress, increase on task behavior, and provide a classroom that meets the needs of all of the students attending it.
