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

My students are incredible, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to support their learning and well-being. This project focuses on providing crucial tools that will help them develop self-regulation skills and better understand their own emotional needs.

Many of my students benefit immensely from opportunities for movement and tactile input to help them focus, calm themselves, and process information.

The items in this request, such as Play Therapy Sand Trays, yoga mats and Weighted Lap Pad Animal, aren't just for fun; they're essential for helping students manage their emotions, stay engaged, and ultimately, thrive academically and emotionally.

Your contribution will directly impact my students' ability to learn and grow by providing them with the tools they need to self-regulate and explore their unique sensory needs. Thank you for considering supporting this initiative!
