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

I am a self-contained special education teacher who teaches students that have a variety of disabilities which include, autism, speech and language impairment, ADHD, and other health impairments.

My students have difficulty focusing and staying on task.

My classroom also includes a wide range of recent immigrants from various cultures. I create my own lesson plans to differentiate for every students' learning needs, skills, abilities and cultural diversity. Because it is a Title I school, students often begin the school year without the proper supplies and we have limited resources.

I would love for all of my students to be motivated to learn, have fun, be comfortable and have access to the same materials in order to be successful.

My Project

Students that come from low-income​ homes need snacks throughout the school day to focus. Most of my students with disabilities do not get to eat breakfast before they come to school. This causes them to struggle to concentrate or have energy until lunch time which is 4 hours later.

Being well nourished pushes these students to want to learn more instead of worrying when they will eat next.

As much as I tell parents to send in snacks for their child, I am finding myself giving them my own healthy snacks because they still do not bring in their own. Most of my students have ADD or ADHD and demonstrate difficulty focusing as it is. Imagine being hungry on top of it. It changes their mood and academic skills. Help us get snacks so that we can learn without being hungry!
