Celebrating 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 in an amazing school in the Bronx. Although challenging, it is most rewarding to be a special education teacher, working with curious, enthusiastic children with various disabilities and academic levels ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade, all in one classroom. A majority of my students struggle with early literacy skills, which results in students falling far below grade level standards in reading, writing and math skills. My goal is to assure that I am able to reach all the different levels and learning styles in my classroom and equip my students with the necessary tools/skills to provide long term success.
My Project
STEM based activities will encourage my students to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics in a fun way. The magnetic tiles and kinetic sand will allows students to build 3D figures. The crystal growing lab will be a hands-on project where students will learn the process of growing colorful crystals, by observing the changes throughout the process. The train set will promote sensory motor skills in an engaging fun way.
Hands-on activities are important to stimulate children, especially those with disabilities.
The STEM kits will encourage creativity, promote language and social/emotional skills as children are encouraged to work together. These activities are visually stimulating, hands-on, and sensory-rich.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
