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

As a Special Education teacher, I spend long hours working at a desk on reports about my students’ individual needs, strengths and goals. In order to fulfill my job duties, it is essential that I have a comfortable desk chair, a laptop case, and Bluetooth speaker for performance practice sessions, an external hard drive and plenty of ink cartridges for our classroom printer.

My students are very unique and require individualized attention and teacher support.

It is absolutely necessary that I have appropriate supplies that will help me meet the demands of my daily routine.
