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 class is comprised of lively Kindergarteners that are excited about learning! My students are unique and possess different abilities. Funding these sensory tools will allow me to cater my teaching to each of their needs. I will be able to create lessons and integrate STEM and sensory components so that all of my students are thought of and given an equal opportunity to be successful in the classroom. All of my students learn in different ways and these sensory activities will expose them to academic learning in the learning style that they specifically need. My lessons will become more interactive and hands-on!
