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 with disabilities would benefit from breaks that include sensory items to obtain a peaceful, safe, calm, sense of their mind and bodies. This will allow students an outlet to do so before returning to their academic content. This will aid in the improvement of focus, attention, and engagement, and provide flexible opportunities and accommodations for our most fidgety and dysregulated students. It is imperative for my students' success to take productive breaks throughout the day that meet their sensory needs. These items will allow that to happen.
