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 have kids on the spectrum that need visual, auditory, tactile accommodations and stimulation. Throughout the day my students show me in their own way that they need stimulation. As an educator I do provide as much as I can, in our time of need, I look into organizations that help. I am asking for some lap boards so students can learn at different locations around the room. I am also for some sensory toys, fidgets, bubblers, and other resources to help students learn to concentrate.

I appreciate the generosity of all the donors and hope they will extend the kindness for my kids here at in our special education department.

Thank you for helping my kiddos. They will benefit everyday and help reduce behaviors in our classrooms.
