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 learn best through visuals and hands-on utensils. I want them to be the best that they can be regardless of their differences.

I need a variety of sensory manipulatives to help my autistic children with issues they may have in order to engage them during a lesson.

Some of the items also light-up or vibrate fulfilling their sensory needs. I also picked items that can bring their artwork to life.

Autistic children are all different and most have sensory issues so the requested items will help meet their needs. These items that I chose will help them with their learning and make their projects fun. I am requesting colored pencils, triangular pencils, magnetic marker holders, light-up massagers, and laminating sheets.
