Celebrating 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.
I am a school social worker at a high school in an urban school district. My students come from diverse backgrounds. In addition to school, many students have jobs and other responsibilities at home which adds to their stress levels. My students struggle to manage social, academic, and home demands throughout their day. 67% of students receive free or reduced lunch.
My students face many barriers to achieving academic success.
Many have experienced trauma and have difficulty coming to school regularly. When they do come to school, many struggle to achieve academic success in the classroom. They lack the coping skills needed to manage stress and find academic success.
My Project
These fidget items will help my students maintain their focus and attention during their academic classes. Having access to tangible items that they can keep provides students with the things they need to maintain their focus and attention in classes.
The different types of fidgets will allow students the option of choosing the item that will assist them the most.
The liquid timers help students calm down when feeling stressed. The sensory rings provide a subtle way to fidget during class. The variety of stress balls and squishies offer choices for what works best to maintain focus. These items will help students find academic success now and in the future.
