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

Please help me provide my students with a sensory corner! I am a special education teacher in Sunset Park, Brooklyn and I am looking to create an area of my classroom where kids can safely relieve stress, center themselves, and have creative and tactile experiences. I teach students with disabilities, English-language learners and students who are new to the country. Many of my students and their families are asylum seekers.

My goal is to use these items as sensory inputs help to calm lower brain systems and provide a foundation for social engagement and higher-level thinking.

Many of my students need help with self regulation and anxiety as a result of trauma they have experienced. It is my hope that these games, fidgets and STEM toys will provide my students with an opportunity regulate their bodies and emotions, and build safe relationships, and allow their thinking brains to be active.
