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

This project is to help my classroom's journey towards having sensory-rich areas for students with diverse needs. Throughout my years in education, I have incorporated different items that have improved the classroom environment to fit the needs of all students and enhance the learning opportunities for students who require additional support with learning.

We love having a sensory-rich classroom that promotes a calm and focused learning experience!

Student-centered areas are so important to me because I want every student to have what they need to be successful at a young age!
