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

Play is more than just playing. It helps to build so much more. It makes kids creative by using their imaginations. It builds confidence when trying new things. It helps with problem solving. It helps kids feel calm and busy. It helps kids make friends. It teaches kids to take turns. It makes kids question and explore. It helps kids build motor skills. It builds language skills. Play is so much more.

These materials will help strengthen our students' social/emotional and motor skills.

My goals are that we have the materials for our SDC classes to work on the skills listed above and to work on their social skills. I'm hoping to build bonds with the general education students as we share the materials with their same age peers and big buddies.

The SDC classes at our school have students with Autism. Our students have a variety of abilities ranging from non verbal to bilingual, not able to grasp writing tools to being able to write. Some students put everything in their mouths and need larger toys so they don't choke on them. We all want what will help our students succeed.
