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
My students are from an urban area in Los Angeles who also happen to have a diagnosis of Autism. Because of their diagnosis, they are in a special setting (SDC) Autism class. My classroom is generally small, and the goal is to provide intensive instruction so that my students can access core curriculum. Often, I will co-teach and collaborate w/ colleagues so that my students are able to gain social skills needed.
My students are able to engage in core curriculum with general education students, and as such, I strive to hold them to higher standards.
They are often very quick with math computation skills, coding, and reading fluency.
My Project
This year will be the first time these students are in this classroom with me, therefore, we will be creating our classroom library from scratch. I'd like to incorporate current events into my classroom as well as non-fiction and novel texts.
I'd also like to incorporate more diversity into their literacy by incorporating multilingual books and books that are representative of our diverse student populations (abilities, gender, ethnicity, etc.).
This way, my students are exposed to these concepts and begin to normalize difference. Having this new classroom library will help me reinforce concepts that I teach in core lessons during their silent reading time/free time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
