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

Fidget tools help my little learners to focus during instruction and independent work time. This project will help me provide them with a couple of new options to choose from. The chew necklaces will be very helpful for my students that mouth everything and will hopefully keep them from chewing up their headphones and all my pencils. The weighted blankets will help some students to set still and focus on the task at hand.

Access to proper sensory tools will help my students to regulate which will allow them to participate in more learning opportunities.
