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

As a new incoming teacher for an autism classroom for the upcoming school year, I want to be able to give my students a fresh set of classroom materials as well as a variety of sensory items and play to get them through the day. Along with some storage bins for classroom organization and lamination sheets to keep their classwork safe and protected. This DonorsChoose project focuses on equipping the teacher and the students for a successful year

Having different sensory toys can allow for the students to have more choices in their day for play and creativity.

Previously having worked in an autism classroom, I’ve found that these tools are a great motivator to practice motor skills and foster a positive and welcoming environment to all students. I hope we can build a wonderful room for the students together!
