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

Help me give my students games, and materials to make targeting speech, language, and social communication more engaging and fun!

My goal for this project is to enhance the way we are working on our articulation, language, and social skills.

New and different supplies/materials to refresh, improve lessons and expand the imagination. My students need a little help with their communication skills and the activities, materials and games will help them transfer skills from play to everyday activities. The new games and activities will help inspire the students to use their skills in new and exciting ways.
