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

Throughout my career I have learned that students learn best through play and exploration. As well as having their needs met through various accommodations and modifications.

The games, writing paper and weighted lap pads in this list will support my students that have learning and social emotional disabilities by making their goals achievable through play!

I have worked with my student multiple year and have seen them grow in all their endeavors. To me they are my kiddos and they deserve the best. These students range from mild to moderate disabilities however they are determined children that always try their best.
