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 motto at our school is “Supporting Student Strengths with Passion, Purpose, and Professionalism.” This project focuses on fostering students’ strengths by exposing students to cause and effect activities via coding materials! I created this project because my students have a need for a fun way to develop pre-linguistic communication skills through a variety of engaging methods. Many of the Special Education students I work with come from limited resources and have behavioral, medical, and academic needs. Some of the students live in group/foster homes and it can be a challenge to find motivating activities that will engage them. In addition many students enjoy hands-on learning materials that they can manipulate.

These coding materials requested would provide motivating activities and a hands-on way to learn cause and effect through play based activities.

These coding activities will allow our students to access their curriculum in unique ways with support including VODs, picture icons, gestures, AAC technology, vocalizations, verbalizations, communication core boards, and other functional methods of communication. Students would also develop receptive and expressive language along with pragmatic skills as they work with peers through play based language activities.

My Project

Your donation would help support a previous coding project and add characters to the Codding Critters sets!

How awesome would it be for our students to be able to incorporate more coding characters that they can use in play based therapy to practice conversational turn taking skills?

You donation would make that possibility a reality!

The Pair-A-Pets Dinos, Bunnies, Dogs, and Cats would be included in the main interactive coding set to provide more opportunities for coding and communication. The Coding Critter Bopper would be a fun new set for the students to explore during the Spring themes, which are quickly approaching. The Rockopus and Kinderbot would allow sensory students and visually impaired students to get important auditory feedback. We are excited to continue to build coding activities into communication lessons!
