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 Students
My students come to school daily with a drive to learn. My students have specific needs or disabilities ranging from visual impairment, specific learning disabilities, autism, and emotional disturbance. Most students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which is why I need essential materials. They are also at a disadvantage due to their disabilities.
Most of the students in my class are also English learners, and some are relatively new to the country.
The community consists of mostly Spanish-speaking families and a small percentage of African-American families. My students work hard every day to learn and to grow.
I support my students in a special day mathematics classroom and they are expected to meet grade-level standards with the support and accommodations I provide. In order to have access to the curriculum, my students need various ways to learn: visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, and/or tactically. As an educator, I want to make sure my students have the same opportunities as their peers in regular general education classrooms.
My Project
My students, who are performing below grade level, always give their best effort and thrive every day in my classroom no matter how challenging a task may be. My students are often unmotivated to independently read or engage with grade-level texts due to their gaps in learning.
Providing my students with a library corner with bean bag chairs, rugs, motivational quotes, and books at their individual reading levels will encourage my students to read more.
The library corner can provide a space in the classroom where students can unwind and read more about different cultures. The library corner can also be a space for my students to take brain breaks and engage in a rewarding activity to promote a positive behavior climate.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
