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

Please help my students develop their social skills through hands on materials that require another person to play with them. As they develop and also improve their social skills at the same time they will be understanding different emotions through play with the requested fidget toys, plush animals, sensory bottles, and other resources.

By using the Little Spot Emotion toys the students can see how there face may look during these emotions and also how to make themselves feel better.

Some of the other toys will be used to help the students regulate themselves through deep breathing and/or stress relief through using a variety of fidget toys.
