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

Hello, my name is Tracy Schiavello. I am the art teacher in Jersey City. I have new autistic classes this year and I want to accommodate my students the best I can.

I am hoping to supply my autistic students with a much more comfortable learning environment.

My art room currently dose not comfortably accommodate my students. The students would most definitely appreciate these new cozy corner items. Having a these items would definitely assist in student transitions from one classroom to another. Thank you for your time!
