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 materials selected serve a dual purpose, both as therapy aids and engaging toys. This is an effective strategy for maintaining children's focus and participation during therapy sessions. Incorporating activities like sorting and categorizing into toys not only aids in skill development but also keeps children entertained and involved. When therapy materials are designed to be interactive and enjoyable, they can help students remain engaged without feeling like they're constantly in a formal learning or therapy environment. The flexible seating will also give students a choice of where they can sit to work at their best.

By providing a toss game, magnetic tiles, sorting rods, crayons and other manipulatives or toys that promote skill reinforcement while allowing for active participation, I can create an environment that encourages learning through play.

This can lead to improved outcomes as children feel more motivated and less pressured, allowing them to absorb information and practice skills more effectively.
