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 Students

My students are freshmen in a co-taught biology classroom. This means that there are two teachers and a percentage of the students in the room are students with special needs.

Some of them have a lot of extra energy and need an outlet for that energy!

They come in eager to learn; however, sometimes their energy and daily struggles affect their learning.

My students love learning, love their school, love their teachers; but, they are students who need some extra social emotional learning.

My Project

The Thinking Putty will help keep all students engaged. It will help them focus and remain in the classroom. Right now if a student is too hyper to sit, they go on a walk in the hallway.

With the Thinking Putty they will be allowed to play with it and remain in the classroom and remain engaged in their learning.

This will increase the time on task for each student.

My goal is to have each students learning every day and this will allow more students the support they need to be successful. The Thinking Putty will also help students who have anxiety and tend to put their nails and skin, this will give them a better alternative.
