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.
I teach the most amazing kids in the world. My students are preschoolers with special needs. They face a variety of challenges in their everyday lives, and I am always amazed by their ability to adapt and overcome. I am lucky to experience the miracle of learning and development in my classroom on a daily basis!
Many of my students are on the Autism Spectrum and many have sensory processing issues. Various motor activities help my students to deal with their sensory needs. We have a wonderful "motor room" in our building that has equipment to help my students. However, due to the high demand for use of the motor room by other classrooms and therapists, my students have access to the motor room once a week for thirty minutes. This is simply not enough to meet their sensory needs!
I am asking for a trampoline to use in our classroom. Jumping provides vestibular orientation and heavy-work for my students. It is a wonderfully calming activity that my students are just crazy about. Having a trampoline in the room would allow my students to jump on a regular basis, therefore improving their concentration. It would also mean that I wouldn't have to send my assistant down to the motor room with a student who needed to jump, leaving me alone with 7 other students with special needs.
Your donation will provide my students with a valuable gift: the ability to work through their sensory issues in the classroom! Not having to leave the room to jump means more time for learning. Thank you for considering my proposal. Remember, it's your support that makes learning possible!
