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

Remarkable, happy, resilient, and strong are the characteristics that come to mind when I think about my students. My caseload consists of students with a wide range of disabilities. They live in a very low-income area, where over ninety-nine percent of the student population participates in a free lunch, breakfast, and snack program. During these challenging times, all of my students are working from home. For many of my students, this means they lack access to many of the fine motor essential materials that I can provide for them in the classroom setting. I have selected materials to create a "Fine Motor Skills Tool Kits" to send home to each child so they can have access to the essential supplies we use during occupational therapy services.

My Project

These essential fine motor materials will help the students build their fine motor skills needed for independence with daily living activities (e.g., opening containers, dressing), writing, coloring, and cutting.

I have selected materials to create a "Fine Motor Skills Tool Kits" to send home to each child so they can have access to the essential supplies we use during occupational therapy services.

I would like to build fine motor kits to be sent home for distance education to help keep muscles in their hands strong and build up muscles that need to be developed.
