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 work with students with neurodivergence and different abilities. I need to be able to motivate them with engaging crafts and tools to get them to participate. Reward stickers, craft items, and easels help them with their hand skills. Gymnastic mats, balance beams, and stepping stones help with their balance skills.

But I want to help families as well as students.

So I am also requesting binders and dividers to develop educational plan notebooks for the parents of my students. This will help them to advocate for their child and organize their notes and meeting plans.

Lastly, I want to organize an equipment closet for my special needs classes so that they can easily access the equipment that their students need.
