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 amazing, unique learners who inspire me daily with their creativity, determination, happiness, and unwavering curiosity. They thrive in a supportive environment tailored to their needs, helping them stay calm, focused, and ready to learn. This project will provide essential tools to enhance their sensory, social, and academic skills while creating a safe and engaging space. We need a sensory pillow, Play-doh, puzzles, and more. With these resources, my students will have the support they need to grow, succeed, and reach their full potential. Thank you for helping my students shine and for making our classroom truly special!
