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

This is my first year teaching 1st and 2nd grade for Deaf students. All of my students come from low-income families and attend a school with Title I funding. We need supplies and tools to access their surroundings and education through ASL-focused visuals and visual reading materials. I have DeafBlind students who need more tactile materials such as the wooden letter tracing product. These amazing kids have a variety of needs that requires a variety of resources. Please help me create an engaging learning experience for all of them!
