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

My students are bright, joyful and eager to learn learners. I am a Special Education Teacher for Moderate/Severe Students. Our school is an inclusive site which our students with Disabilities are placed in a general education setting. Many of our students have been together since kindergarten and have developed meaningful friendships. My students benefit from tools and resources that would allow them to learn the same things as their peers. They also benefit from hands on learning and things they are able to find connections to. Any supplies or donations would be greatly appreciated and utilized.

My Project

I serve students with significant learning needs in a mainstream setting. In this setting having access to the right resources allows our students to make strides of growth. In a matter of helping them build language, independence and life skills that will allow them to access this world. These items will be used in their classrooms and for their services to help expand their opportunities.

Our students travel to their classroom and access the same materials but may require a few accomodations like writing stamps and lines to visualize where to write or having adaptive scissors to cut out projects.

As the educator is reading a new book providing visual cards for the students to draw connections or build their vocabulary.

Thank you in advance for helping me provide opportunities and access for my students.
