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

In order for my students to grow as scholars we need to provide an organized environment that will ensure their success. Each student in my classroom have individual learning materials that need to be organized in a manner that will help with independence. In addition to the organization we want to provide them with tools to help with their sensory needs.

Building toys will help foster creativity and build social independence in my classroom.

Many of my students continue to need support in working together and problem solving. These toys are of interest in my students, therefore it will be impactful in their learning of working together and sharing.
