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

A double-sided whiteboard with a chart paper holder and positive feedback stamps will support collaboration, provide a structured visual space for writing, charts, and group thinking, and build confidence through immediate reinforcement. Motivational stickers, colorful ink, and stamps promote positive affirmation, recognize effort and growth, and support student mental well-being by reducing anxiety and encouraging a growth mindset. These tools also help organize feedback, highlight strengths, and make learning more interactive, engaging, and visually accessible for all learners, including students with visual impairments through clear, high-contrast cues and consistent visual organization. For students with ADHD, the visual structure, hands-on engagement, and frequent positive reinforcement help improve focus, sustain attention, and reduce distractions by making learning more active and interactive. Jenga will support fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking while also encouraging teamwork and communication. Together, these resources help reduce stress, increase accessibility, and create a supportive classroom environment where students feel confident, included, and motivated to learn.
