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

I work at an elementary school in an industrial suburb of Houston. Our community was just impacted by the recent ITC fires in Deer Park which closed school for multiple days and left students locked inside their homes. Our population consists of kindergarten through fourth grade from many culturally diverse populations. The students' families are predominantly blue collar and have a passion for their children's education but have limited resources. Our community was also affected by Hurricane Harvey, displacing many of our students and staff members, and some of our families are still recovering.

The efforts and energy of all faculty and staff are focused on fulfilling our mission to provide a positive educational experience for all children.

We are committed to guiding children in a positive and supportive manner so that our students achieve academic success and develop responsible social skills.

My Project

My students are all autistic and organization and routine are key to their success at school and at home. With small and large book bins, we can help organize all of our file folder learning activities.

I would also like my students to have some new learning materials that help not only with math and reading, but also with their fine motor skills development.

Fidget toys will allow my students to relieve stress, increase focus and get more academic tasks completed throughout the day

The meeting note taking journals will help me stay organized for maximum student learning.

Thank you so much for visiting my teacher page and thank you in advance for your generosity! My autism students thank you in advance
