Sensory 40

Help me give my students items like sensory seating, hanging file folders, and a wonderful dual language library

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mendez's classroom raised $268

This project is fully funded

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

Help my dual language students have flexible seating arrangements. For those whom need sensory stimulation, chair bands that will allow them to move around while still being able to complete their work. Spanish books that will help offer students a dual language friendly library where they can enhance their reading skills. These books are also focused around self love and appreciation, a calming corner. Classroom supplies that will allow students to receive the necessary tools to enhance their learning. Magnetic pizza fractions that will provide visual representation for our visual learners.
