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

In my 3rd grade classroom, many students navigate the world through the lens of ADHD and other neurodivergent experiences. To better support their unique needs, I am seeking funding for flexible seating options, fidget tools, and engaging social skills games.

These resources will create a sensory-friendly, student-centered environment where learners can self-regulate, build focus, and develop critical interpersonal skills.

With your support, students will feel more comfortable, included, and empowered to thrive academically and socially. Together, we can create a classroom that truly honors every child’s way of learning and being.
