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

Colorful supplies can greatly enhance the learning experience for my students in the Autism Core classroom. When students have access to a variety of colorful supplies such as markers, colored paper, and other outdoor materials, behaviors are more likely to decrease, and it can increase their creativity and imagination. These supplies can be used in various activities like art, organizing information visually, and creating visual aids. The use of colors can help students remember information better as it appeals to their visual memory. Additionally, colorful supplies can create a vibrant and inviting learning environment that fosters positivity and excitement about learning.
