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
Our school is an urban public school with a diverse population. This is why this school is so special. The teachers and staff are very committed to all of the students. Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with 100% of our students receiving free lunch.
I am a Special Education Teacher working with students with Specific Learning Disabilities from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade.
My students are excited to learn and it is my joy to work with them. My students are special because they are eager to learn and they have a willingness to work hard. I have had students that speak a different language, yet they have overcome the odds and have made tremendous progress. For example, I had a student that could not write or count up to 20. He could only count up to 13. Now he can write independently up to 100 and count by tens.
My Project
These materials will definitely help my students because the majority of my students have specific learning disabilities. I need to be able to make learning fun, as well as challenging.
These materials will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn using materials available to them.
These materials will be great resources because it will allow the students to interact with each other while learning through reading, writing, and learning numbers - skills they need desperately to become better students. The Beginning Sounds Phonemic Awareness Box will help students that I work with who have phonemic awareness goals in their IEPs. It will enable me to introduce these sounds to my students through visual aids and a hands-on approach.
The Lakeshore Write and Wipe answer boards will help because we do a lot of group work because I work with students based on the academic levels. The Lakeshore Write and wipe boards will help us to work as a group, but give each student a chance to work independently. Sentence building is in the goals of a majority of my students; unfortunately, they are not able to write simple sentences. The sentence building-learning center is an excellent way to get them on a fast track to building simple sentences. I have students that are in the first and second grades that cannot identify most of the letters of the alphabet. The Write & Wipe Alphabet Practice cards will not only help them learn their alphabet, but how to write the letters, as well.
