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

My students are in the PAL program (Preschool for All Learners). All of my students have different interests, personalities, and ABILITIES. My classroom offers a lot of diversity; 9 boys and 1 girl. Eight of my students have autism, 1 student has an intellectual disability, one student has an orthopedic impairment. Although, they may all be different and face different challenges, they are all motivated and excited to learn in their own special way.

All of my students learn differently.

While one thrives with music, the other thrives through manipulatives. While some enjoy learning in groups with their friends, others prefer to learn independently. What all of my students have in common is, they all learn through play. They all learn best doing what they enjoy most.

My students and their families all reside in a low-income community. The current situation we are all currently facing has become very difficult for my families. As I met with my families last semester, I saw the importance of our daily zoom sessions and what it meant to them. To my families, their children’s education is a priority despite the challenges.

My Project

My students are currently learning how to count with materials they have from home: Cheerios, Goldfish, Kix, cotton balls, etc. We choose these materials to allow all students to have access to materials and allow them all an opportunity to participate. Although, learning how to count with food is an option, it is not ideal. What it really is, it is very tempting to eat. We see it from the bright side, we are learning how to subtract, we start with 8, we wat 2 and end with 6!

These materials will give all my students an equal opportunity to access the same materials and learn together.

These materials will not only facilitate our lessons, but they will also allow them to continue learning at home during these challenging times.
