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

The students in our room come from very diverse backgrounds, in an urban Bay Area School. Ours is a mild/moderate special day class consisting of students who just need a little more individualized instruction, including a small classroom environment and a tad more scaffolding and extra time working with the Common Core State Standards.

If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.

It is important to me, and to my students, to adjust my teaching to their learning needs. My students all have Individualized Education Plans in order for me create an environment that best fits how they learn.

My Project

As we return to the classroom in 2021, the CDC and public health systems have shown the positive effects of ventilation and air purification in response to COVID. The EPA states that air cleaners can reduce airborne contaminants including viruses and potential for airborne transmission.

I want to make sure that my students and I can be as safe and healthy as possible this year.

Along with masks, and as much distancing as possible, this provides another layer of protection. These items will make our space a better place to learn, as students need a safe and social learning environment in order to thrive.
