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

These tools will help my students self-regulate so they can be ready to learn.

If a student is not self regulated, they have difficulties being able to be present and learn in the classroom.

Each student needs different things and activities to help them be ready to learn. Students come to school, carrying the weight of events and problems outside of school. We can't expect our students to always be in the proper mindset to be able to learn fully.

In order to learn, students sometimes need the extra support and care to be successful. By gifting these snacks, arts and crafts, and fidget toys, students can be more present and learn to their best ability.
