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 a unique and resilient group of learners who face diverse challenges, including speech delays, autism, ADHD, and emotional or behavioral deficits. They come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, yet they approach each day with curiosity, creativity, and determination. What makes them truly special is their ability to find joy in learning when lessons are hands-on and tailored to their individual needs. They inspire me daily with their potential and eagerness to grow, even when facing obstacles.

The materials I’m requesting will make a tremendous difference in their learning by providing engaging, multisensory experiences.

The Lower Case Lacing Letter Beads will support both fine motor skill development and literacy, while the Sensory Literacy Kit will enhance language acquisition and reading skills in a fun and interactive way. Playfoam Pluffle will offer a creative sensory outlet, helping students regulate emotions and stay focused. The Wiggle Eye Stickers and Construction Paper will be used for creative arts projects that foster self-expression and build confidence. The Paper Trimmer will enable me to efficiently prepare materials, ensuring our lessons are ready to go and maximizing instructional time. Together, these items will create a classroom environment where learning is both exciting and accessible for every student.

My goal for this project is to empower my students to explore, create, and build essential skills in a way that meets their unique needs. By integrating sensory and creative tools into our lessons, I hope to enhance their literacy, fine motor, and emotional regulation skills while fostering a love of learning. These materials will help me create a safe, welcoming space where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Your support will make a meaningful difference in their lives, helping them reach their fullest potential.
