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 an Early Childhood Special Education teacher working with 6-12 preschool students diagnosed with autism, sensory processing disorder, speech and language delay and multiple-handicaps with low cognitive skills. As a result of schools shutting down physical buildings, I have been seeing my students via video streaming sessions. Some of my students are non-speaking or have limited speech. However, that does not hinder them to reach their best potential in participating with the use of personalized hands-on materials and basic supplies.

My goal is to provide a classroom for my students that is safe, organized, welcoming, exciting, engaging and offers opportunities for exploration, and prepares my students for future academic success.

My Project

It's been six months since we started virtual learning and most of my preschool students are able to adapt to the new normal of learning. My students and their younger siblings are now able to sit down and follow simple one to two step directions.

My preschool students are always eager and excited to make, create art projects using hands-on materials while having fun.

Weather they are painting, cutting strips of paper or magazines to make collages are some of our favorite activities we have been doing during our virtual classes.

With your generosity and kindness, we hope you are able to share and fund our project so we can continue to learn and explore our skills.
