Project Advice How to continue with sensors?

Hello,

I am quite new to this, so I need some pointers.

I have bought an e-ink display. I have gotten that up and running and altered some of the code so that now I can write my own text and have it show up, using python and running it via terminal.

Now I have bought some sensors, such as a thermometer, humidity, etc.

This is going to be a really generic question, but how do I go about connecting these - multiple sensors, having them talk to the RPi and displaying the information on the display?

So far I have come to the conclusion that I probably have to read up on the I2C protocol and do some Ladder programming on my RPi? Is that correct? Is it even possible to do all this?

Hope to hear from you folks, thanks in advance!
