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

The items that I am requesting will be used to help my students regulate their emotions and help them meet their sensory needs. For example, the sensory fidget tubes can help soothe my students when they are feeling overwhelmed. The Fidget Friends can help meet my students' sensory needs. The emotion coins can help my students identify their emotions in a constructive way. The big feelings pineapple can help students identify their emotions, and their peers' emotions, along with identifying parts of a body.

My students have autism and require additional supports to help them meet their diverse learning needs.
