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

My students will appreciate the stim and fidget toys to use during class time. These types of toys often help student to focus when assignments become challenging or lengthy.

The conversation cubes will help open up talks regarding social and emotional health.

I often take small groups of class to do so and having a starting point such as a game or these cubes help facilitate the conversations.

The stim toys will be appropriate for class unlike balls which end up being tossed around or distract instead of focusing students.
