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

Students will benefit from having access to sensory toys such as legos, kinetic sand, and other toys that provide opportunities to learn essential developmental skills so they can participate in age appropriate play and behavior. With the support of teacher and other support staff in the classroom, students can have the opportunity to build age appropriate verbal expressions skills, social skills, fine motor, and communication skills as they are encouraged to play together.

The variety of sensory toys and manipulatives will help me support and keep students engaged, focused, and entertained so that they can learn better ways to cope with their behavior and sensory needs while having fun.
