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
We are a preschool special education class located in Los Angeles, California, that serves preschool to sixth grade students. The school is located in a very low-income neighborhood, and 100% of the students receive free lunch. The school is surrounded by homeless, traffic, and the freeway. The majority of the students in the school are Hispanic, and we have several newcomers at our school who do not speak English. We also have a very high population of special education students. As a school, our goal is to prepare students who are college bound.
My students are seven preschool special education students; some of them have autism and some have speech and language impairment, but they come in every day with smiles on their faces and eager to learn.
My goal as a teacher is to prepare my students for the future and encourage them to love school, now and forever.
My Project
The laminator will be used to laminate paper goods. Little hands tear things easily and then we no longer have them. We need to make things last so we can keep on learning. The laminating patches will be used on a lot of pictures that we need to make safe and last. The color ink cartridges will be used to make and create the pictures we need to label our classroom so we know what to do and where to go. The spinning chair will be used to give the children with autism the sensory input they need to sit down. Some students with autism really enjoy spinning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
