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 class this year is Pre-K Reverse Mainstream, serving students a variety of needs. My students are a mix of 3-5 year old students with varying personalities. My goal as a teacher is to try to find each and every one of my students' strengths and weaknesses and try to make them even better.
Many of the students come from different backgrounds.
My class has students coming from all walks of life: some from different countries; some with different levels of abilities and capabilities. Miami is called a melting pot for a reason. My school is a Title I school. Many of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch. I want to give my students every opportunity to learn, grow, an be successful.
My Project
My students love Pete the Cat. I want them to be able read and learn from Pete. He shows them that its OK to make mistakes and that it's OK when everything doesn't go according to plan. He is a good example for teaching social skills to students with special needs.
We need Pete the Cat!
We need Pete the Cat books, and storyboards, characters and props to bring the stories to life. We need to add to our library with Pete the Cat stories. Students of all abilities will be able to listen to stories about Pete the Cat and sing along with the class or use the adaptive boards.
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
