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

Our school is considered a Title I school. Many of the children live in low-income housing and hotels, and some are in shelters. For some, English is their second language and many have experienced traumatic experiences that most of us can hardly comprehend. Every student at our school qualifies for free breakfast and free lunch. All of my students have complex communication needs and some require adapted materials to communicate more functionally.

All children should have the ability to communicate in the easiest way (sign language, gestures, pictures, communication boards) for them.

These materials will be used to help motivate students in the exceptional children's program who receive speech and language services. Some have sensory needs that can be met through these materials to help them focus and engage in lessons. Thank you for your consideration.
