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 allow students that I am working with to have extra support and practice with social emotional and sensory regulation strategies while in small group or individualized therapy settings.

Students are continually working on exploring strategies and learning ways to better relate to others through empathy and self regulation for handwriting and spelling using our new vocabulary books

The sensory books will allow for children to regulate their sensory systems by allowing them to regulate deep pressure input. The handwriting books will allow for extra practice with handwriting skills that are difficult for some students to master

Mr. McDerby IS 77 Joseph F Quinn School Grades 6-8
