Hocus Pocus Everybody Focus!

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

Please help provide new sensory toys for a group of amazing diverse learners in K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade! These students come to school each day motivated and ready to learn. However, midway through the day, focusing becomes a difficult for many of these students. Giving these students access to fidgets and sensory tools, I will be able to better manage distracting behaviors in the classroom.

These fidgets and sensory tools will be accessible to students as they need them!

Students will leave each day with a great feeling of accomplishment.

Having access to fidgets and sensory tools, I believe my students will be successful with accomplishing tasks throughout the school and managing their emotions.

With your help, I will be able to provide an environment where my students feel comfortable to learn with the correct tools.
