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 teach Pre-K Special Education in Chicago Public Schools. My students are amazing creators and thinkers! These students use their minds in so many different ways and teach me something new about myself and the world around me every day. I love teaching Pre-K and each year it gets better and better!

These students have severe disabilities and that requires many special activities, accommodations, and modifications to make sure they are successful as possible in school.

My students love to use their hands, to build, and make art projects! They are each unique and special and have their own special talent to share with our class on a daily basis.

My Project

We need carpets to make our room as comfortable as possible and I need a color printer to print all the visuals my students need to be successful

The carpets will help my students be more comfortable in the classroom.

It will feel more like their home, instead of a sterile classroom. This is especially important for young diverse learners to help with the transition from spending most of their time at home to spending most of their time at school. For some students with disabilities, especially severe disabilities, transitions can be difficult and new environments can be tough to get used to. With the addition of the carpets in the room, most of the cold and bland tile flooring will be covered. This will allow the students to be on the floor and be comfortable, since the floor is where pre-k students do most of their learning.

The printer will allow me to print the necessary visual supports my pre-k special education students require to be as successful as possible!

Thank you so much for your kind donations. My students and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Magiet

Mrs. Magiet Chase Elementary School Grades PreK-2
