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

I am a self contained teacher of a special education middle school class. My class is composed of students in grades six through eight and have a wide range of disabilities. Because my students have special needs, we have to have many tools to help meet their needs.

These supplies will allow my students to have the organizational tools and supplies that make it possible to meet their educational needs.

With these supplied we will be able to color code materials and we will be able to organize all of the tools that my students use on a daily basis.
