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 love my students because each of them are so unique bringing something different and new to the classroom. I teach students with special needs and these materials will provide scaffolds to help them persevere and maintain a positive learning environment. The fidget toys will help my students focus on their work and the Spot of Feelings book set will help them learn and understand the different emotions they feel every day. The SEL Plan Book will help me create lessons to learn about how we can be our best selves and make positive decisions as well as learning how to be kind to ourselves and others.
