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 stimulation and sensory toys will help the whole grade get through the last months of the school year. Knowing the year will be over soon can cause stress and behaviors to be expressed.

Stimulation and sensory toys are discrete tools which can be used to calm students.

Teachers can hand them out at their discretion and students can request them as needed. Have multiple types will help gain and keep the students’ interest in using such a tool.

The candy will be used during field day or as reinforcements for doing the right thing from now until the end of the school year.
