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 students are energetic, curious, and always ready to learn.

They thrive with hands-on tools and calming supports that help them stay focused throughout the day.

The sensory tools, fidget kits, balance board, and wiggle seats will support their regulation and movement needs, while the yoga mats and calming scents will create a peaceful space for breaks. The snacks like graham crackers and Goldfish will help keep their energy up so they can fully engage in learning.

Every item helps meet their sensory and physical needs so they can learn with confidence and joy.
