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

These donated materials will help my students with daily motivational activities! Whiteboards help my students be engaged during lessons, helps them practice writing skills, and are an easier way to showcase their learning. The ninja books will be a great way to help my students learn more about their feelings and how to deal with them at school. COVID impacted many students' social-emotional skills. Students can understand that it's okay to feel all the feelings but also understand that they can also manage them correctly. The flexible seating will help my students focus during our small group time. It will guarantee students to be focused when learning, or working on a skill they need extra help on. As for the fidget toys, fun pencils they will motivate students to try their very best learning, following expectations, and having a growth mindset. Our set of headphones will give students the opportunity to have a piece of technology in order to listen to learning books, tools, tests, etc.
