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 am a TK-2 special education teacher with 11 students with intellectual disabilities who participate in the moderate/severe alternative curriculum. My class is the sole special education program at our school dedicated to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities on the alternative curriculum. My students are extremely active, and their attention spans last no longer than ten to fifteen minutes per activity. My students have many needs from basic daily life-skills (e.g. diapering) to exposure to age appropriate standards based curriculum.

My school is a Title I school that serves students who come from low-income families and all qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program.

My students need to be highly motivated by a variety of resources to capture their attention and develop their individual strengths. My students are eager learners and come to school excited for the day. They are amazing little human beings who will become important contributors to society with the appropriate support and resources.

My Project

I am excited to incorporate STEM into our special education moderate/severe program! My students will have access to STEM activities that will help develop and apply their skills throughout their everyday lives.

My students will be able to make connections with school, their community, and the world.

They will use the STEM Early Learning Kit to explore and discover through play. They will also have access to soft blocks that will be safe for them to use while building and creating.

It is important for my students to have access to activities specifically developed for STEM because they will be able to learn about the science they are surrounded around everyday and keep up with the ever expanding technology.
