SEL Tools for Developing High School Readers

Help me give my students access to tools to manage their stress and anxiety. I teach developing readers who are of high school age and they lack access to resources like this.

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

The fidget toys will help many of my students who have problems regulating their behavior. The games will provide breaks that include critical thinking. My students have fallen behind in school due to their circumstances and the pandemic. They are reading far below grade level and I believe that I can accelerate them this year to help them get caught up.

The majority of these students have IEPs and are English Learners (60%) .

Most of my students are people of color. They deserve the best opportunity my school can provide them with.
