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 13 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 span lasts 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 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

The HP color printer will be used on a daily basis. The alternative curriculum used in my classroom for students with moderate/severe disabilities is web-based requiring any book or activity to be printed. My students need to see color on any material presented to them. It captures their attention, it motivates them to learn, and it encourages them to participate.

My students also need the colorful 5 piece foldable table and chairs to use for small group learning.

Students learn best from each other so providing opportunities for small group learning is important.

A colorful environment will encourage and motivate my students to learn.
