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

I am a TK-2 special education teacher with 12 students with intellectual disabilities who participate in the moderate/severe alternative curriculum. My class is the sole special education program at our school dedicated to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities on the alternative curriculum. My students are extremely active, and their attention spans last no longer than ten to fifteen minutes per activity. My students have many needs from basic daily life-skills (e.g. diapering) to exposure to age appropriate standards based curriculum.

My school is a Title I school that serves students who come from low-income families and all qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program.

My students need to be highly motivated by a variety of resources to capture their attention and develop their individual strengths. My students are eager learners and come to school excited for the day. They are amazing little human beings who will become important contributors to society with the appropriate support and resources.

My Project

My students work extremely hard to create their art work. A mobile drying rack will ensure that their work will have a place to safely dry while waiting for the final product. Students will also have assigned slots which will help keep their work organized and practice independence by searching for their appropriate slot. Students will be responsible for placing their work in their assigned slot. The mobile drying rack will also allow for work to be placed in a safe area anywhere around the classroom. The pocket charts will help keep students important vocabulary and targets/goals in plain view for everyone to have access. The colors will allow for pocket charts to be organized according to centers. This will help students focus on targeted vocabulary for that particular center.
