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

Our school is considered a Title I school. Many of the children live in low-income housing and hotels, and some are in shelters. For some, English is their second language and many have experienced traumatic experiences that most of us can hardly comprehend. Every student at our school qualifies for free breakfast and free lunch. All of my students have complex communication needs and some require adapted materials to communicate more functionally.

Children learn best through play.

The following speech and language skills can be worked on through PLAY: turn-taking, following directions, utterance expansion, social skills, problem solving, asking and answering questions, patience, articulation, using sounds in connected speech, and fluency. These materials will be used to help children engage in child-led activities as we work on increasing their communication skills.

Thank you so much for your support! You help make a difference in education!
