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 Students

Summarizing a typical day in my classroom is not an easy task as no two days are alike! In general, my students participate in a variety of tasks, all aimed at increasing their independence as they become young adults. My goal for my students is that they grow into positive members of society.

My students are freshmen through seniors in a cluster program for students with moderate cognitive impairments.

Their abilities and disabilities all vary from readers to non-readers, from those who can solve word problems to those who are still working on learning their colors and numbers. Although they are different, they have one thing in common: their determination. My students work hard to exceed the world's expectations of them. My school is a large Chicago public high school. The students here are incredibly supportive of my students and welcome them as central members of the school community.

My Project

This project includes: light covers, extension cords, hygiene packs, money packs, 3m hooks, and diffusers.

We're moving!

Next year, we will be getting a larger space which is very exciting however, it requires some new items! We do not have enough light covers for our new classroom, need more storage items, and need to update our hygiene and community money pouches! This project will help us transition smoothly into our new environment for the 2019-2020 school year. The light covers make a dramatic impact in the environment by providing soft lighting rather harsh fluorescent lighting. The zipper packs will be used when students go out in the community to store their money, and to store hygiene items like deodorant. The extension cord will be used to plug in technology. The 3m hooks will be used to hangup functional item Thank you so much for considering this project for your donation, it will make a significant impact on our year!
