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 Students

My classroom consists of 10 students who have moderate to severe autism. Some students perform higher on the spectrum than others, however, they are all intelligent in their own right. My classroom serves preschool, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students. I have students who range from 3-6 years of age. All of my students have academic, social emotional, behavioral, functional skills, gross motor and fine motor goals on their IEP's.

Many of my students stim and tend to need help regulating their sensory needs.

They enjoy fidgeting toys or toys that have a high "shock" value. We love practicing our numbers, ABC's and anything that has the colors of the rainbow. Our students enjoy listening to music, dancing, and participating in gross motor activities. We are also looking for things and activities to help them want to engage in academic lessons.

My Project

In my classroom, I serve students who are kind, loving, energetic, and intelligent. I work in a low-income area and even though I am provided with the items I need to succeed in teaching my kiddos, some of the tools to keep them engaged are hard to come by. We utilize the STAR, Handwriting Without Tears, and the Touch Math curriculum, which are geared towards helping special education students learn. Students with autism learn best when lessons are repeated and reiterated. We use a lot of laminate, Velcro, and other tools that allow us to recycle lessons that our kiddos can use in the classroom and at home. Since my students are so young, they need engaging and creative lessons to encourage them to participate in academic lessons. Many of my students have sensory needs and learn best when they have access to tactile objects, music, or stimulating academic resources. When my students have access to multiple modalities of education, they grow closer to achieving their goals.
