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 support about 45 of the most amazing kids in the world in our center-based autism program. These students light up any classroom they go into and are so eager to learn. I once had a professor in college say to us, "If you find a job you're passionate about, you'll never work a day in your life." That quote holds especially true with the population of students I work with. They really make "work" a great experience each and every day. I truly believe that with the correct support and materials, we can provide a positive learning environment for our students. I am looking to provide my students with autism the tools they need and deserve to be successful members of society both in and out of the classroom.

It is our job to make sure we are providing every possible support to ensure academic success for all students, including providing the necessary tools to address the specific needs of our center-based autism program.

My Project

Our center-based autism students absolutely love doing crafts and hands-on activities. They are also really looking forward to the upcoming holidays and our winter break. What better way to celebrate than to combine the two together?!

These craft supplies will help our kids with their sensory needs as we create holiday and winter themed projects for them to take home to share with their families!

With these arts and crafts supplies, we plan to make holiday wreaths, ornaments, Christmas placemats, symmetrical snowflakes, painted winter scenes, and so much more!
