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

Been handling special needs students from kinder to fifth as a SPED resource teacher. They need our love, support and care especially in teaching them the basic academic and functional skills that they need when they face the real-life challenges. They love to read, solve mathematical problems with manipulatives and create magnificent ideas through varied activities.

Handling learners with special educational needs are challenging yet fulfilling!

Thus, these kids need to be cared and supported with what they deserve. I believe in the saying and I quote,"No matter how they learn as long as we are encouraging them not to stop!"

My Project

Students learn differently, and how much are they motivated to learn not just at home but in school as well. Keeping students' attention can be challenging for any one, thus active seating is significant.

Active seating through these materials, I believe, impact learning!

So by giving them an opportunity to be provided with these materials, they will be motivated, at the same time, read and learn with their peers. Striving for excellence starts at reading and comprehending, thus, your support to our students are much appreciated! These materials will be able to help special needs students during their reading time. They can be seated comfortably at they same time learning different reading materials.
