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

This project will help my students in many ways. There are starter readers to help my students as many of my students read at a Kindergarten level and my classroom does not have a Kindergarten curriculum.

There are sensory items that my students will work for to play with to help their sensory needs.

The ADHD chair bands will help them to focus during lessons. The calming strips will be placed on their desks to also assist with their learning. The sand will assist with multi-sensory learning of reading and spelling words.
