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
As a special education teacher in a low socioeconomic Title I school, all the students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. My class consists of 13 students.
My kids are faced with many challenges in and outside the classroom.
They are academically two years below grade level. Many of my students come from single parent homes. Although my kids have varying disabilities (LD, Autism, ED and Mentally Handicapped), they are eager to learn and succeed. I want to provide an atmosphere that is safe, and welcoming. Help me engage and inspire my students by becoming a partner in their learning.
My Project
My class is in need of crayons, pencils, computer paper, makers and children scissors, basic essential supplies for my class. It will be used for art projects and phonics activities.
Many students with special needs have issues writing within the lines.
Several of my kids have Dysgraphia which is a writing disorder. Using highlighted lines and raised lined paper gives students the visual and tactile cues as to where to stop writing.
This not only helps students with dysgraphia but individual that have visual perception issues and sensorimotor challenges that can making handwriting more difficult.
Investing in my students is investing in the future. Thank You!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
