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 have two groups of students both in special education programs for English. They range from 9th to 12th grade across many different levels of reading and writing.

Although many of my students struggle with school day to day, they often are fun loving, boisterous high school students none the less!

Many of my students LOVE to draw and some are very talented. That is why I chose the picture to show the spirit of our class! Each piece of art was done by one of my students. They are all very talented young adults!

My Project

My Special Education classroom has many students spanning across a range of abilities. Technology has been shown to be a great way to differentiate learning for students. A projector would allow me to use a wide range of tools to allow all my students regardless of learning style to succeed.

Technology is changing the way we educate our students, and a projector would allow me to use all the tools out there to differentiate my teaching for my students' learning.

Although technology is important it is also important for students to read books! During my study skills class once a week I was hoping to hold a book club for my students. "American Street" is a book I believe my students would really relate with, and would be a great first book for our little club!

I would like to thank you on behalf of my students for taking the time to read about our classroom!
