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! They are eager to learn and participate in new activities, however lack of experiences and materials will hold them back. They have a difficult time connecting with traditional books and curriculum. So everything needs adapted and made durable so that they can practice their skills every day.

My students are 5 to 14 years old but are all functioning on preschool level academically.

My students are diagnosed with intellectual disability and autism. They learn and respond positively to curriculum that is visual, kinesthetic and allows them to practice their skills repeatedly.

I am requesting hands-on sensory materials to help my students with their sensory needs like bubble fidgets and gel floor tiles to help with their attention and sensory needs.
