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

The students in my ESE Pre-K Classroom are happy, fun, and excited to come to school. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and have diverse needs that are met daily in my room.

Most of my students are sensory seekers and benefit from sensory play!

Sensory play can help regulate students with disabilities.

I am requesting the storage bins, colored rice, and other materials necessary to make seasonal and themed sensory play bins to match our curriculum. The materials requested will be used to make an endless assortment of sensory bins that can be used over and over throughout the years.
