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

This is a team collaboration project to help provide our school with materials to better service our awesome students. Our school serves 418 students between 3-k and 8th grade in West Harlem, many of whom have sensory needs and difficulty attending to tasks. In order to best support their diverse needs within the classroom and during transitions, we want to create sensory corners inside our special classrooms and a sensory hallway. The sensory corner provides a designated area inside the classroom that students can go to self-regulate when they are starting to feel overwhelmed. It will provide them with a safe and private space to use learned tools that will help them to calm down or feel better, therefore allowing them to engage with their peers and adults more appropriately and access the curriculum.

A sensory hallway is a series of guided movements for kids to follow, shown by markings on the ground and walls.

As the students follow the path and complete the movements, they work off excess energy, develop their gross motor skills, eye hand coordination, get sensory input, etc. Additionally, it can work on improving math skills and language skills. The sensory hallway can benefit all students in the school, not just those with sensory needs.

Thank you in advance for your interest in helping our school community and our students with special needs, so they can better function and ultimately thrive in the school environment.
