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'm the teacher of the intellectually disabled moderate (IDM) program at my middle school. I work at a low-income school, with very few resources, and most of the families I work with are at or below the poverty level. I don't want to let lack of resources stand in the way of my students’ education. I want to be able to provide them with the best learning experience possible and opportunities that will help them progress.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to accomplish my goals when resources are limited and the demand is high.

I have 6th through 8th graders, and all my students are at different ability levels. I have nonverbal students who need different resources from my students who are struggling readers. I created a classroom environment that runs by centers, and centers lack the resources for the students’ levels. I want to create centers that will enrich all of my students’ learning.

Besides teaching intellectually disabled students, I am the Leadership teacher. I am very involved with the school and try to promote a positive, inclusive school culture. Our student population needs motivation and guidance, and I hope I can create that environment through Leadership events and activities.

My Project

This year, I have my special education class and leadership. I am trying to keep the space organized as much as possible, but it is quite hard when space is limited due to trying to keep students and their desks separated at a Covid-safe physical distance. I now also have to provide my students with outlets in order to keep their computers charged.

I hope this project will be able to alleviate a lot of problems I encounter every day in the classroom.

The rolling carts will be used for students to store their items. Each row will get a cart, and they can roll the cart down the rows of students to access their materials. The diffuser and oil will be used in hopes of eliminating the huge mosquito problem we currently have in our school, which will eliminate lots of scratching that happens in the class. The cleaner will be to help the class stay clean. I am hoping these helpful items will make it to our class with your support.
