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

My goal is for the speech sessions to be more engaging and fun and These toys will make a world of difference for my students. I take joy in adapting my teaching methods to cater to the individual needs and learning styles of each student, creating a dynamic atmosphere where curiosity is encouraged, and creativity flourishes. Witnessing their growth and development, both academically and personally, is immensely rewarding. Additionally, the use of snacks and fidget toys as rewards serves as a simple yet effective method of positive reinforcement. Snacks provide a moment of relaxation and enjoyment, breaking up the routine, while fidget toys can aid focus and concentration.
