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

Hello!! Please help me give my students a comfortable place to learn! I’m a special education inclusion teacher. I work with 2nd and 8th grade. Creating the right size learning environment in a small area has been challenging, especially with Covid. With this project, I’m hoping to create a shared learning area. The table and stools for my project will let me work with any size student while removing desks without losing the workspace. Please help me create a physically comfortable and safe learning area that works for 2nd-grade students and 8th-grade students.

My Project

Hello! As a special education teacher, I take my students’ confidentiality seriously, making me very protective of my students IEPs. I feel it’s my responsibility to ensure only the ones who need to know are in the know. Having a printer in my room will let me print IEPs, as well as progress reports, and any data. Right now, IEPs and progress reports are printed at 1 of our 3 school wide printers! I’ll also be able to print materials for my students, especially my students who prefer to read a text on paper and make notes on that paper in order to work at their best! It’ll be great for their accommodations, too!
