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 composed of moderate to extensive special day class students. Most of my students have different learning styles and sensory needs. The bead sorters, alphabet soup starter activity and other educational and sensory materials will be very beneficial to address their learning needs. This will be helpful for the class when students are working in a small group activities or independent tasks.

By donating to our project, you will not only help address their sensory needs, you will ultimately increase the student's interest, engagement and participation on certain tasks and to develop their skills.

Students will be able to simply focus on academic tasks and maximize the use of their fine motor skills when working on the activities.
