Celebrating 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
My students are from Houston Texas, in a very diverse district. My students are ages 3-5, and from all the corners of the world. I have Vietnamese, middle eastern, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, African and African American students. Most of my students are on the autism spectrum with some having intellectual disabilities, auditory impartments, and speech impairments. Currently, there is a total of 17 students and still counting. My students are spunky and quite unique! They each have their own personalities along with needs.
My Project
Research shows early intervention is key to having a successful academic, personal, and social life. Teaching an early childhood special education classroom, I see that all of my students need extensive support in all domains that compose early childhood education. The items have a focus on closing the gaps in all domains addressed in the Pre Kindergarten and Early Childhood guidelines.
The materials I ask for are engaging, colorful items that motivate and make learning accessible for all students regardless of disability.
Magnetic math rods will help my students with skills such as sorting, and counting. Moods and emotions puzzle set will help my students with fine motor skills and social skills. Big knob puzzle set will help my students, who have trouble grasping small items, begging to work on their fine motor skills. Trace and write alphabet letters will help my students begin to legibly write letters. The Mad Mattr in varying colors will help build small muscle grasp in their hands to work on fine motor skills: With these materials, my students will acquire early literacy and math, fine and gross motors skills, as well as personal social skills.
