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 project will help bring a variety of sensory materials to my classroom. Students with autism benefit greatly from having a variety of materials accessible to meet their sensory needs. These materials are essential to student learning and engagement and will be extremely helpful as I set up my new classroom.

These materials will be used to help students reach their full potential in the classroom by keeping them calm, focused and engaged.

The students will have access to these material at all times, for breaks when they need quiet time, while transitioning, as well as for when they need something to keep their hands quiet so that they can receive the full benefit of the lessons being taught. It is essential for the students to have access to this variety of materials and this will be a great help as I start my new classroom.
