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

My students are the greatest students in the stratosphere. They are kind, brave, hard-working, excited to learn, and always eager to lend a helping hand in their community.

In the past several months, the need has arisen to provide a safe, sensory experience for my special needs students.

We spend the majority of our day in our quiet little windowless classroom and while it may be our home away from home, we would love to expand our sensory offerings. Our classroom lacks natural light and window to the outside world. Items such as bulletin board paper will help bring a touch of nature to our classroom. Our students were able to calculate the area and perimeter of the bulletin boards to determine the correct amount of paper and border to order. The ability to have our lights plugged into smart plugs will enable us to turn off all the lights at once, in the event of a lockdown. Items such as faux greenery cushions help with our everyday tactile needs. Items such as picture frames and canvas boards will be utilized during ESY to help facilitate student-created artwork in the classroom. These items will help my special needs students create an environment in which they can not only learn, they can thrive.
