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

I love my first graders so much and am helping them become little humans in this big world. My class is learning how to deal with strong emotions in a safe and nurturing way. The items I am requesting are a lot of sensory-based materials that will help my students express themselves in physical, but safe ways.

The two most important items are floor tiles which I actually plan on sticking on the wall so that students can push them and use their whole bodies, as well as the single-person black out tent, for when students need to be away from the things that are bothering them, but still know they are nearby and safe.
