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 are preschool age and are students with different disabilities ranging from mild to severe. Sensory play helps children develop their brains and it is a fun and engaging way for children to explore the world around them. Help me provide my students with materials that incorporate a multi-sensory approach that will foster play which is a critical part of early childhood development.

These sensory materials will provide my students with ways to explore, develop, and grow.

The materials will build problem solving skills, increase self control, and enhance creativity and imagination.
