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

This project will help my fifth-grade students stress less throughout the school year. Each item will be used to help keep students focused on their studies and work through their emotions. The wobble seats will help them move around while sitting at the table. The fidgets will be used during times they show loss of focus or need help controlling their emotions. The scratch strips will be placed on their desks so they can use whenever they need to. All of the materials will help them have a successful school year.

Ms. Hynes PS 131 Brooklyn Grades 3-5
