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

The materials I am requesting are for my Elementary Exceptional Education students. Each child in the classroom has different levels of need when it comes to social emotional behaviors. Having hands-on positive and playful resources would be great for them to have access to. My students are in need of support with behavioral and social emotional issues.They all want to learn and do their best academically, but have some behaviors that can hinder their progress on their individual goals.

My groups this year have been the most helpful and sharing in the classroom, they deserve the best to help them achieve their goals.

Having an variety of different resources in the classroom has been very beneficial to them, but also to myself. I love the option of having specific tools in the classroom that gives opportunity for my students to choose what does and doesn't work for them. It shows them the true meaning that all feeling matter and that we need to work on ways to find out how to address each specific feeling in an appropriate manner. It's definitely a learning curve for all of us!
