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

Organization is key for any educator and it also makes just about everything else easier. Being organized in the classroom means students work more efficiently, without wasting time to look for their supplies, and it promotes a relaxed environment where students can focus and learn.

Students deserve a calm and relaxing environment with the necessary sensory tools that help with self-regulation and developing healthy coping skills.

The sensory stickers and weighted stuffed animal will help students re-focus and re-charge so they can engage on their academic skills in the classroom. Having access to these sensory tools will help create an environment that allows students to feel comfortable opening up and work through the stresses they are facing in their lives.

Having basic supplies like tape, laminating pouches, and hanging hooks is a necessity for students to participate in classroom tasks, guaranteeing that they are set up to excel this year.
