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

Cleaning supplies help maintain a clean and organized environment, which is crucial for many students with autism who can be sensitive to sensory input and thrive in structured spaces. A clean classroom promotes focus and reduces distractions. Cardstock paper, tissue paper, and pencils support creative expression. These materials will enable various art projects and activities, allowing students to communicate, explore their imaginations, and develop fine motor skills. They also help me create engaging visual resources, a cornerstone of any autistic support classroom.

These resources work together to create a supportive space that caters to my students' environmental and creative needs.
