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 have special needs, and many of them are non-verbal and need modified materials to communicate and participate in lessons. They enjoy being able to participate in lessons beside their verbal peers by engaging in literacy activities. I enjoy seeing the excitement on their faces when they are working together with their peers to explore the world of books. Even my youngest students can benefit from the pre-linguistic skills that books can offer them. The social skills they develop, such as turn taking with peers, will continue with them as they continue to grow and explore.
My Project
Help my students get ready for kindergarten through the power of literacy. Many of my students are non-verbal and need the extra support of manipulatives to fully understand the meaning of each story. My students can also use the manipulatives to make a comment about the story during our therapy sessions our request a certain book using the objects.
Books open the door for children to not only learn about themselves but also about the world around them.
Using literature in my sessions allows me to connect with my students on a different level and teaches us both how to explore and learn together.
