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

I am planning on making individual station to help with making choices for what they use for helping them with math. I want to make this a unique experience so the students can choose and have fun while learning. I want some sensory experience for our breaks when done with work. In a special education classroom having the right school supplies is essential to creating a supportive and effective environment. These materials, from sensory tools to adaptive writing utensils, enable personalized learning and help meet the unique needs of each student. With the proper resources, we can enhance engagement, foster independence, and ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed in their educational journey.
