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

My students deserve the absolute best! I want to start the school year fresh with some of the best sensory items.

I have quickly learned that students learn best when they feel safe and have a space to cool off in a moment of agitation.

The beanbag chair, the sensory wall items, paintbrushes, sand timers, and tubes all help fulfill my student's sensory needs. The lamination pouches, Velcro dots, Expo markers, and seat pouches will help me create and organize materials that will last for years to come. I can't wait to give my students the sensory experience they deserve.
