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

I work with the most amazing kiddos. They are smart, hardworking, and beautiful young people. They also happen to have learning differences and need more support to access the general education curriculum. Each of my students has an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Each IEP is a plan that includes goals and accommodations to help a student meet individual outcomes or goals beyond their current skills.

Additionally, my students live in East Oakland, California, and face many obstacles including poverty, homelessness, learning English, and access to drugs and violence.

Despite all of these factors working against them, they continue to preserve by attending classes, engaging with their peers, and working towards a better future for themselves and their families.

I am asking for your help in purchasing these organizational tools such as the Honey-Can-Do Rolling, Really Good Stuff Lined Magnetic Dry Erase Sheet, and Dry Erase Calendar Kit. I plan to use these items to better organize our classroom space. I know that having an organized space will help my students be able to focus more and be more independent because they will be able to easily access the materials they need to be successful.
