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

Your donation will provide my students with the opportunity for endless visuals required to provide choices, language, and encourage participation for students with limited language. The laminator, sheets, tape, a pocket charts will all be used for the visuals used in daily Instruction.

The sensory tiles will be used in the classroom to enhance sensory stimulation, promote sensory integration, and improve focus and attention.

They provide a controlled sensory input through visual and tactile stimulation, offering a calming effect and aiding in self-regulation. Additionally, they can be used to improve coordination, motor skills, and social skills, and to create engaging play and learning experiences.
