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 Project

This project aims to allow students in my ELL Special Education Self-Contained class to achieve success beyond what others see. My students come from low-income homes, and we need support in every aspect. My students learn in a variety of different ways and by having those materials they will be able to achieve success. Many are emerging readers needing extra support when learning to decode words. These materials will assist the students and reinforce the skills being learned during small group instruction. The Power Pen will allow the students to work independently while getting immediate feedback.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
