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

Sensory tools are essential for creating a safe, inclusive, and productive learning environment for my students. These tools help them regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and stay engaged in lessons. I’m requesting fidget tools, visual timers, and tactile manipulatives. These resources allow my students to have a brain break while remaining at their desks without distracting the other students.

When students have their sensory needs met, they can focus on learning, building friendships, and developing independence.

These tools don’t just support their education—they support their well-being and confidence. Your donation will help create a classroom where every student feels seen, supported, and ready to succeed.
