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

I teach a preschool collaborative classroom. I have fourteen typically developing students and ten students with special needs: Autistic, Other Health Impaired-ADHD, and Speech-Language Impairments. My school is located in a low-income community where the majority are Latinos from immigrant families and first-generation. Most of my students are English Language Learners. My students are energetic, curious, lovable, and eager to learn. My students enjoy music, books, building, art, and learning through play. However, my program lacks many diverse and instructional tools and materials to engage in their specific needs.

My Project

As a special education teacher, teaching during COVID times has been challenging, as well for some of our students with special and sensory needs. Pop fidget toys can help reduce student's stress and anxiety as it keeps their hands busy. Due to COVID we are not allowed to have students share materials without sanitizing them first.

Pop fidget toys are a fun way to learn how to count through play, while also providing sensory stimulation.

Since we are not allowed to have a calming area due to the pandemic, students will benefit from having their own fidget toy when needed. Students will also have the opportunity to learn how to rote count and match numbers with pop its.
