Help me give my students sensory and STEM resources like magnetic building blocks, sensory sand, and fidget tools to support hands-on learning and engagement in the classroom.

Celebrating 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 full of curiosity and creativity, always eager to explore, build, and engage in hands-on learning experiences. They thrive when given opportunities to use their energy and imagination in meaningful ways, and this project aims to provide them with tools to foster that enthusiasm.
The resources I’m requesting will make a significant difference in their learning.
The sensory play materials, like the liquid motion bubbler and sensory sand, will help students focus and regulate their emotions, creating a calm and productive classroom environment. The STEM tools, including magnetic building blocks and mini magnetic drawing boards, will spark their interest in engineering, creativity, and problem-solving. Chair bands for fidgety feet will allow students to channel their energy quietly, improving their focus during lessons.
My goal for this project is to create an inclusive and stimulating classroom where every student can succeed and feel confident. These materials will encourage active participation, build fine motor skills, and enhance collaborative learning. My students are special because of their diverse strengths and determination to grow. They come to class each day with an eagerness to learn and an openness to trying new things, and these resources will help them flourish both academically and emotionally.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
