Celebrating 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.
Have you ever wanted to express an idea in written form, but worried about spelling so much that you didn't write at all? Challenges facing students with specific learning disabilities are greater than you can imagine. We have the opportunity to empower students to begin an attempt at writing.
Students at my Elementary School are from a humble little community named in Los Angeles, California.
All students at Gates Street Elementary School are considered at an economic disadvantage. Students in my classroom are students with special needs like, Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and several other learning disabilities.
My Project
With the donation of these dictionaries, my students will gain the confidence to begin to write INDEPENDENTLY. This will mean so much to students who struggle with spelling as well as low self esteem. Students will have the ability to "compete" with their general education peers while mainstreaming for science, arts, and social sciences.
Visual dictionaries can be a very powerful tool to enhance the impact of my students’ written language.
Words and images presented in different formats can appeal directly to students’ imagination, adding power to their writing ideas while correcting spelling.
