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
As a teacher, my goal is to create an inclusive classroom where every child feels supported and able to learn to their fullest potential. Many of my students face challenges with sensory processing, and some struggle to stay focused, calm, or engaged throughout the school day. To help them succeed, I am requesting sensory tools that will support their unique needs.
Sensory tools such as fidget spinners, a weighted stuffed animal, and feet sensory cushions will help students manage stress and improve focus.
These items are especially important for students with ADHD, autism, or other developmental challenges who might find it hard to focus or regulate their emotions in a traditional classroom setting.
With your support, I will be able to create a calming, supportive space where students can self-regulate, stay on task, and participate in learning activities. Whether it’s using a sensory cushion for the feet or sitting on a wobble cushion to improve focus and concentration, these tools will make a world of difference in their daily learning experience.
