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

The class this year has a lot of sensory issues. Touching is one of the main ones. The children need to get used to different surfaces and different textures. They are so curious about so many things around them but are afraid to reach out and actually touch things. As simple as it may be I intend to create some projects with them so that they can explore different textures in a fun way. Presenting it as art makes it friendlier and less scary to them. So I'm going to use the felt and the wool and some of the things we have in the classroom and we will create projects based on holidays and stories that we read and they'll get the experience of working with and touching different textures. We'll create puppets and book covers and whatever else they show an interest in. This will also help them with the language skills, the storytelling skills, and with classification skills. I'm excited to see them in action. Thank you in advance for even considering to help us.
