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

As a school psychologist evaluating preschool to kindergarten students, these items will allow me to assess their learning through play. These items will allow me to engage students and keep their attention by playing with fun toys while evaluating their problem-solving and learning abilities. As we know, young kids learn through play and provide me with a great deal of information of their future learning abilities. These kids will allow students to feel less stress while engaging.

I will also use some of these items as an incentive for my older students when assessing their learning abilities.

I will use the cleaning wipes to clean up after the assessments to ensure health and safety.
