Help me give my students sensory toys to help them stay focused, motivational posters to keep them engaged, and tips to help them with their paragraphs to continue growing in their writing.

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.
My Students
At our school, our mission for our students before they graduate is to aspire to become responsible and productive 21st century learners, leaders, and citizens. The students in my class are constantly pushing for excellence, building their civic engagement skills, and looking for ways to be the leaders of tomorrow.
I teach three special day classes of 12, for 36 students total!
Of those 36, approximately 20 are English language learners, and 12 receive speech services. Our classroom community is built on the motto of lead with your ears. In other words, we strive to lead by listening to those around us both in academic and social-emotional topics.
My Project
To begin, the motivational posters will continue to show my students the importance of having a growth mindset and set up classroom expectations. Within the class, cultivating a warm and welcoming environment will make a difference in whether the student wants to learn or not. By inviting them in and continuing to show them that mistakes are teachers, they will continue to be engaged in the class. The classroom I have created over bitmoji is a place my students enjoy visiting, as they feel they are able to feel it is a universal design for learning. Every student that comes into my class, bitmoji or in person, I want them to feel they have an empathetic and caring place where they know they can push themselves to succeed each and every day. Although the posters seem small, seeing little inspirational quotes can quickly change a mindset.
However, not only is motivating important but so is giving students tips on how to continue to grow in their writing.
Both posters will help them understand the nuances of the English language and continue building on their paragraph and literacy skills. Seeing that students are beginning to build their essay skills in middle school, these posters are dire to help students refresh their memory and help visual learners piece information together. In my special day class, many of my students struggle with writing a paragraph. Although we write consistently each day, having visuals and posters to remind them I have noticed, helps with their memory. In my class I want students to feel they are being given equal and equitable opportunities to grow in their learning. Providing posters with little tips such as these can truly make a difference in their learning.
