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 Project

I teach 12 amazing students with autism in kindergarten and 1st grade. What makes my students special is their incredible ability to connect with and learn from visual and sensory-rich materials. Each of them brings a unique perspective and personality to the classroom, and they deserve every opportunity to thrive. This color printer will be an invaluable resource in helping them grow and develop in meaningful ways.

The color printer will make a significant difference in my students' learning by allowing me to create personalized visual schedules, colorful books, engaging worksheets, and sensory pictures that are tailored to their needs.

Many of my students thrive when they can visually connect with the material, whether it’s through pictures that support their understanding of emotions or vibrant, interactive books that spark their curiosity. These resources will help foster independence, improve communication, and make learning more accessible and enjoyable.

My goal for this project is to enhance my students’ learning experience by providing them with visual tools that support their unique needs. With the printer, I will be able to create resources that cater to their individual learning styles and promote engagement in daily activities.
