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 children in my class have disabilities that affect their cognitive, physical, language, and social skills; making each one of them unique. The sensory materials listed will help my students meet their physical/sensory as needs while they develop the learning skills required to succeed academically.

The sensory floor tiles, breathing ball and kinetic sand will be used to enrich our calming corner; where students can go to take structured breaks and practice the social-emotional/self regulation skills they are being taught.

They can push or jump on the tile to release stress or excess energy and can use the ball as a model for deep breathing. The sensory alphabet and matching letter and counting sets will be used to provide hands-on experiences that will help my students meet their individual literacy goals.

I want to help my students grow by exposing them to as many new multi-sensory activities as I can. We would greatly appreciate your help and support!
