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

I teach a special education class of kinder through fifth graders. My special education program is a blended push-in/pull-out program which means that some students come into my special education classroom and learn in small groups while other students receive their supports in the General Education classroom while working with their teacher and typically developing peers.

As of right now we are working remotely for the beginning of the school year.

Our school is just blocks away from the site of the tragic shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Our school is in the most southern part of Silicon Valley with rural and agricultural lands surrounding our school's neighborhood. Our school also has a dual-immersion, Spanish/English program which several of my students participate in. My classroom includes students of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.

My Project

My students have been working remotely for over a year. Some are excited to learn and some are finding working virtual a bit stressful. I want to give students fidget toys so that they can relax while we transition to full time in person instruction. A fidget toy will help my students feel relaxed while they learn throughout the day and help them participate in class.

The pandemic has taken many missed opportunities for students.

Having a fidget near by will help students settle their anxiety so that they can participate in class so that they continue to learn and grow.

Many students need items in their hands to stay focus and be engaged. These fidget toys will allow students to feel less stress so they can continue to read, write, learn their math facts so that they can succeed.
