Sensory Tools

Help me give my students sensory tools to create a calming and relaxing environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hernandez's classroom raised $444

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

I work with a large culturally and linguistically diverse group of amazing learners, which includes K-3rd grade levels. Our classroom environment is warm, welcoming, and student-friendly. My students are an amazing group of individuals with various abilities. Our classroom is full of students who are ready to learn and who will persist. My students are motivated to learn, want to be at school, and want to succeed.

The sensory tools (moving sand art, putty, brushes, and balls) will be used during calming and relaxing breaks.

I am creating sensory boxes to house our sensory tools. My students will get to check out a box each week and use it during their school day.
