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

I have a great bunch of hard-working Diverse Learners with Autism, Learning Disabilities, Health Impairments, and Emotional Disabilities. They try very hard to independently focus on their reading, writing, and math work, but they get easily frustrated with outdoor noise, classroom chatter, and stimming students. It is essential that my awesome group of high-needs students receive noise canceling ear muffs to help support their sensory sensitivities, encourage self-regulating behaviors, and prevent meltdowns. My students can accomplish so much more with this simple but crucial classroom supply. They need all the help we can give.
