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

My classroom is in need of basic color-coded fundamental resources to enhance my students with special needs learning and educational experience. Color-coded items help my students locate their individual learning materials more readily while also instilling a sense of ownership and independence.

Having color-coded binders, dry-erase markers, pencil cases, and clipboards will create a more engaging and comfortable setting for my students with autism.

The binders will contain individualized work for students in their literacy, math, and writing centers. The pencil cases will contain the dry-erase markers and pencils that are needed to complete their work. Student progress will be tracked and posted on the clipboards. These materials will contribute significantly to the educational success of students and help them become successful.
