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

Thank you in advance for supporting the little minds I work with every day. I currently teach TK-1st grade. My class is 1 out of 3 Special Education classes at my Title I school. Therefore my students are (stuck!) with me for the first 3 years of their education, which I consider to be the most important. It is so important for me to teach and build the necessary foundational skills they need to succeed. Despite all the pandemic changes, my kiddos have all been attending class daily and look forward to coming to class every day. The current skill level my students are coming with is lower than any other year I have seen and I need all the support I can get. My kiddos are hands-on learners and require visuals and accommodations that I will be able to provide with your help. Thank you for helping me modify my classroom into the best environment for them.

My Project

The resources selected will help me make my classroom a more suitable environment for my special needs students. I have a few items that will help me support my students understand their emotions, specially when they are having difficult days and are able to express themselves appropriately. I have also added things like LEGO sets which they could use during social independent time with their peers. I have added a speaker as the one we currently have doesn't work and students are presented with different videos through the day that support the material they are learning for example during morning work we go over the days of the week, months of the year, and a good morning greeting song. For our ELA lessons we have rhyming songs, and the alphabet and sounds songs. For math we count to 100 with an interactive song and we also count by 10's. In the supply list I have also added sensory items that will help my students calm down whether they are having a difficult time or are over stimulated. I have certain items that are suppose to target specific students and their current IEP needs.
