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

Students in my classroom benefit from having items that will regulate their emotions, it is imperative for us to have a variety of ways to help our students regulate their emotions and sensory needs on a daily basis. Many of our students stay motivated to stay on tasks with rewards such as craft time, in which they enjoy making items for their families and friends. Seeing them proud to show their work is always a joy to see. Snacks are always a big hit in our room as many will stay on task or sometimes will get them out of a mood that they may be in. We strive to provide the best day for our students every day and with your help, you could also make this possible. Thank you for your support in our classroom.
