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

Little learners need help to focus during lessons. When they have fidgits in their hands, they are able to keep their mind focused on the lesson.

The kindergarten students can be overwhelmed during a school day, and often having a fidgit in their hands keeping them busy lets their mind focus on the lesson and students are able to do the work from reading to math.

These tools also help students make friends and contribute to group discussions. Busy hands keep the mind open to learning what is being taught.
