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

By having a sensory ball chair it helps those students that need to move in order to learn a little interesting. It helps not only get the wiggles out and regulate but it helps satisfy their vestibular system with the sensory needs they really need.

The goal for this project is to help my students concentrate and by them bouncing it helps them concentrate and will learn better.

My students are special because many have Autism but they are all crave different types of sensory needs. They are special and unique in their own ways.
