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

I am using these resources to actively engage my students. Giving them an opportunity to choose their seating and express themselves creatively. The games will be used to teach positive social skills, positive communication skills and problem solving techniques. The yoga mats will allow students to be able to take their learning outside of the classroom, offering a more engaging environment.

The fidget tools will be used as an incentive and as a device to help students focus in the classroom.
