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 the proud teacher of an ASD (autism spectrum disorder) classroom, where only two of my students are diagnosed with autism and the rest have been classified with other disabilities LD (learning disabled), ID (intellectual disabled), AD/HD, and behavioral issues. However, regardless of their disabilities, classifications, and issues, they are all extra special to me because during school hours they are my kids. I always said, "I didn't choose to teach, teaching chose me" because this is my second career. I chose to go back to school to be a Special Education Teacher. Every year, I have been working with very limited resources but this particular year, when I started, our classroom had nothing. I have been working with leftover materials, things I collected from other classrooms, etc. we need your help.

My Project

My students struggle during writing, with these special writing journals they will have the chance to illustrate their stories even when they cannot write them down. During small groups writing and reading, I empathize about the importance of drawing when we are reading or writing a story. having guided blue and red lines on their journals will allow them to grow and improve their writing skills.

Also, we need to implement and practice personal hygiene by washing our hands several times a day to protect ourselves in addition to hand sanitizer.
