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

My classroom has all kind of students, but they are all different in their own way. These sensory tools would be able to be an asset for them to succeed in a fun and creative way.

Students need sensory tools to stimulate their cognitive and language.

This includes being able to focus on their learning and social experiences through the day. It'll help them with real-life experiences.

These specific learning tools impact them to be capable to enhance the way students can learn. For example, having the foam activities will stimulate their motor skills and be able to improve their writing skills.

These specific tools stimulate their brain through the use of magnet tiles building and are able to build their dialogue and long responses.

The students can improve their emotional and social limitations through the use of sensory tools like bubble poppers, sensory slime and different textured balls that will help them feel safe in the environment and be able to relax and learn peacefully.

By donating to our project, you would be a tremendous help, and it'll increase students' attention, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. We are a community, and if we help each other, we will all prosper. It starts with the children's success.
