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 Students

The greatest gift I have ever been given is teaching students with Autism. The Autism Spectrum Disorder is broad and complex but everyday my students are teaching me something new about the way they see the world. My students are consistently seeking to find ways to communicate the way they see the world around them. Each of them have diverse needs as well as interests that drive their hunger for learning. They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and opportunities that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! My students are capable and special in so many ways!

My Project

This sensory sand and water table would be beneficial for our students during choice time to acquire the developmental needs. Our students have diverse needs, as well as passions to explore the world around them.

Our goal is to help them explore these sensory needs with the sand and water table!

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' fine motor skills and assist with their sensitivity to materials. Going beyond the everyday skills they need to navigate the world around them, this table will be a special activity for them to enjoy with classmates and peers.
