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 teach in an autism self-contained classroom. Most of my students need flexible seating and the appropriate tools to drive their focus during learning. Additionally, we enjoy doing fine motor centers during language arts and math.

With all of my students are performing at different grade levels, they will need diverse tools to perform and have their needs met.

Your contribution would support us with providing students with the resources they need to achieve this. These tactile and sensory-driven toys will allow my students to calm their minds to focus.

Our class would greatly appreciate your contributions.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
