Celebrating 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.
"I am different, Not less" - Temple Grandin. This powerful quote sums up my approach in teaching my Bilingual Life Skills students: different, but certainly not less. A typical day in my classroom includes tailored academics for students and life skills activities, including recycling and cooking.
I teach Bilingual Life Skills, which ranges from 1st through 4th grade.
My students are unique individuals with a variety of disabilities that include autism, down syndrome, speech impairments, and intellectual disabilities. Each student learns in their own unique way. Some love learning through interactive videos, while others learn through a more hands-on approach. They also enjoy giving hugs and interacting with adults and their peers. Some students are non-verbal and use augmentative communication devices to communicate, while others are able to vocalize but don't know how to communicate their needs and wants. Our school is situated near public housing for low income families and our diverse student population is primarily underprivileged. On our campus, not only do we work on academics, but we also work on our maintaining our wildlife garden, keeping our school green, and giving our students as many opportunities to be successful out in the community and throughout their lives.
My Project
All of my students struggle with their hygiene needs. They constantly need adult supervision and assistance to help button up or zip their pants, cleaning their noses, putting on their jackets on correctly, and fixing their shirts. The requested full size safety mirror will help all my students with all of their personal needs.
Donations to provide my students with a safety mirror will help my students take care of their personal needs.
Donations will provide my students with the resource they need to succeed.
