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

My students would benefit from fidgets to support their ability to focus on instruction and SEL/calm down strategies to increase coping skills. Also my 7th graders are in the LAST lunch wave of the day and we have built in a snack break prior to lunch to support their ability to focus. A lot of my students do not come to school with a snack and teachers are purchasing snacks to help them out. These snacks would help us stock our snack cabinet! Thank you for your consideration and support!
