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

Help provide our students with the supplies needed to build sensory corners in our self contained classrooms! We want to be able to give students a place within their classrooms to be able to regulate themselves and get the sensory input they need throughout the day. The goal is to build a sensory corner in each of our 7 classrooms and equip them each with the materials necessary for sensory exploration. The idea of putting these sensory corners in our classrooms rather than in a separate location is to minimize the time away from the classroom for our students.
