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

It is impossible to assume that teenagers can sit quietly for up to 90 minutes without moving around. Their attention span is just not that long and expectations of this are not realistic. I try to provide a space where students have plenty of opportunities to move, speak, and participate.

Having access to quiet toys or stickers with affirming messages will make a huge difference in the retention and classroom engagement of not only students with special needs, but also students who experience anxiety.

I hope to create a safe space where students can pick up a small toy or sticker that helps them relax and lower the negative affective filter that students may hold on to.
