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 support about 45 of the most amazing kids in the world in our center-based Autism program. These students light up any classroom they go in and are so eager to learn. I once had a professor in college say to us, "If you find a job you're passionate about, you'll never work a day in your life." That quote holds especially true with the population of students I work with. They really make "work" a great experience each and every day. I truly believe that with the correct support and materials, we can provide a positive learning environment for our students. I am looking to provide my students with Autism the tools they need and deserve to be successful members of society both in and out of the classroom.

It is our job to make sure we are providing every possible support to ensure academic success for All Students, including providing the necessary tools to address the specific needs of our center-based Autism program.

My Project

The holidays are coming up fast and celebrating them are often times the most memorable parts of our year. Our class of center based Autism students are spending the month of December learning about holidays from around the world. We will end on Christmas where we hope to bring a little excitement home with them for their winter break.

Not all of our students have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays due to the diverse needs of our population, so I'm hoping to bring them a little joy with some small presents, crafts, and activities to do over their break.

My students look forward to the holidays, but they don't all have the resources at home. After learning all about holidays around the world, they will each get a gift bag with some snacks for winter break along with a variety of crafts and holiday presents including a personalized water bottle, ornaments to decorate and give as gifts if they wish, coloring books, and markers!
