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

All students can benefit from sensory breaks, especially our students with autism. We are trying to create an area in our school where these students can go to get that sensory input they need.

Our students love exploring movement, pathways, fast/slow, exercises, and Yoga.

These items we selected will provide the opportunity for students to get the break that will benefit them and allow them to continue their school day. These sensory items will be available for all students to use as needed. The students will enjoy having a bright new area to come and blow off some steam.
