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

Students learn best when using all sensory systems available to them. My students are special in their own ways and will greatly benefit in having special materials for learning such as light table and water beads alphabet letters and numbers as well as variety of markers and writing utensils.

When developing fine motor skills and visual perceptual skills, sensory strategies are the perfect way to enhance learning for students with disabilities and different challenges.

My caseload includes all students with special needs and my goal is to improve their interest and attention when developing fine motor and visual skills related to handwriting and cutting.
