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 Students

"Every child has a different learning style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding." - Robert John Meehan.

We have a school of extremely diverse students who will greatly benefit from increased literacy in their classrooms.

Many of my students come from a struggling background and need lots of visuals to learn. All of our students love to engage in the lesson and learn. These supplies would allow teachers to have resources to teach lessons directly about kindness.

My Project

These fidgets will make a huge difference in our school. We will be able to provide teachers with a variety of options for their students to access throughout the day. We have seen a large increase in the need for students to have something to help them remain focused and the students are doing a wonderful job learning how to use these responsibly.

The students love being able to focus and still use a fidget.

Teaching them how to be productive fidgeters has been hard, but once they get it, it has been a complete blessing.
