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.
My Students
My students are exceptional. They overcome challenges every day that we often may take for granted. They want to be social and smart and excited about learning. Sometimes their challenges make it difficult for them to show what they want and what they are capable of. I strive to help them develop tools and strategies to help them join our world.
Kids with exceptional needs are the most rewarding kids to teach.
I believe this because of what I have learned from my students. They have taught me the importance of play and flexibility, and I have learned that when I join their world I can find beauty and wonder everywhere.
My Project
Students with exceptional needs should be given equal opportunities to experience literacy and math activities with hands-on materials that develop their knowledge of the world around them. In order to provide them with rich learning moments, they need accessible materials that will keep them engaged and address a variety of learning styles. In order to help them show their knowledge, they need to be given a chance to learn. I am excited to watch them develop necessary problem solving skills to learn beginning phonics and how to solve problems using manipulatives.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
