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

My students are kindergartners and first graders from the Bronx. These students are learners identified with disabilities ranging from autism spectrum disorder to ADHD. There are 12 students, ages five to seven. Please help me make this space a safe, differentiated, and learning-rich space.

My Project

Flexible seating and light/sound/smell sensitive classroom tools are all necessary to promote a calm, safe learning environment.

The bouncy ball chairs help my students exert energy while working, minimizing distractions and maximizing learning.

The diffusers will create an aromatic environment that is conductive to calm meditative and reflective practices. The children do yoga daily to help ground them, relax them, and incorporate movement into their daily meditation. These students are from an impoverished neighborhood riddled with high crime and they deserve every resource necessary to overcome academic and emotional obstacles.

Your donation makes a difference minute to minute in my room. I know the flexible seating, sensory toys as rewards and aromatherapy will help my kids reach their full potential. Thank you for your consideration
