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

Sensory play gives children a chance to practice processing information. It involves all their senses. Allowing them to experience new sensations in a safe and fun environment. Developing their motor and social skills.

My students will be able to utilize the sensory tools while they participate during instructional time.

It will help them stay on task. Giving them comfort as they process new information throughout the school day. Allowing students to explore their surroundings.

Please help me give my students the chance to explore new sensations through sensory play by donating to our project.

Ms. Velazquez PS 36K Grades 3-5
