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 special education teacher who loves to make sure my kids are always prepared for their day. My students love to learn and always try their best to stay focused during the day. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.

Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as typical. From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and strive to give them the best of me.

My Project

This year was a fun year filled with a lot of laminating. Trying to be able to reuse materials so that my students can always have their personal charts at a finger's touch. We laminated so much that our poor machine died! We are hoping to have a new one for next year so we will be able to continue to be able to preserve our charts.

Visual aids are key to learning in our room!

We are in need of a chart stand to help keep our pocket charts visible and accessible.

We also need to keep our minds sharp and our pencils sharper! We need a new pencil sharpener to help to be prepared for our day.

We also love to be organized and are asking for some containers to be able to store our station activities in a safe place!
