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 need hands-on sensory/manipulatives to help them focus, transition, and motivate them to work and play. I have created this project so we can have manipulatives and supplies like glue in the classroom to work on different skills since many were not able to practice these skills at home.

Play helps children to learn self-control, emotion-regulation, communication, conflict resolution, and so much more.

With these games and manipulatives, my students will be able to work on their cognitive, math, social, language, and physical development. These tools will provide them with a meaningful learning experience in the classroom.
