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

Please help me provide my students will the supports they need to be successful with sensory processing and social emotional learning! My students are all primarily Spanish speaking at home and classified as English Language Learners. Learning a second language can add to the complexity of having a disability. My students are achievers and deserve the world!

These items will be utilized daily in my classroom!

My students love the Little Spot collection and would really benefit from adding more texts to our collection. Additionally, the flexible seating couch will provide students with a safe and flexible space for reading and when over stimulated.

The spinning seat will give me a way to provide students with the sensory input they are constantly seeking in a safe way!
