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 Project

Students with disabilities at my school need to undergo testing to help identify the supports they need.

In order to better serve the students with disabilities at my school, these supplies are necessary.

This testing is not easy, and making sure students are well-fed and can focus is essential to getting accurate scores. Many students were last evaluated during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to possible inaccurate scores. We need to make sure that we can accurately identify their needs so that we can support all students in achieving success. The snacks will help students be able to stay energized during testing. The fidget toys will help students with impulsive behaviors stay focused so they can do their best. The calendar will help me track all our testing deadlines so as to ensure supports for students are always in place. The Logitech iPad case will support testing sessions since we use an iPad for academic evaluations and it needs to be supported well.
