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

These items will create an environment that lowers the affective filter for mandated testing, and rewards students with a creative and comfortable environment for their post-testing creative projects including 3-D city building, and the design of a life size zoo both requiring LOTS of tape.

While these projects serve as a decompression project after testing, they also focus on many math (multiplication of decimals, budgets, city design, area, perimeter, volume, geometry, and art,) interpersonal skill (negotiation, cooperation, compromising, emotional regulation, and executive functioning skills (long and short term planning, organization of materials, managing time, etc.

Seating cushions - all students flexible areas to work on projects

Snacks - post testing rewards, one sweet treat when completing multi day tests

Tape - 2 massive building projects

Timer - to help with time management

USB hub and cords - provide creative lighting that (colorful, blinking, curtain, and musical lights)
