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 at the age where they are exploring their environment through their senses and need support to help self-soothe. Sensory play supports little ones in their problem-solving skills and motor development as they learn about math, their feelings, their feelings, and their environment.

The materials will help my students self-soothe when they feel overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, and upset.

The washable sensory materials will be stored in Sterilite containers and placed in our discovery area for students to use when they feel strong emotions and need a positive outlet. They will also be used as counters during math activities and science experiments. The play dough will be used as an alternative when students need to use their hands to squeeze and manipulate an appropriate medium. The walking rope will be used to transition from our classroom to the playground to ensure all students arrive safely.
