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.
I teach the most wonderful class of students with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities. My students are motivated, lively, and inquisitive. However, their willingness to learn is often met with frustration due to a lack of basic school supplies. This school year I have five 9th grade students, two 10th grade students, two 11th grade students and ten graduating seniors in my self-contained classroom. As a school that is in a low income area, many students cannot afford basic school supplies.
My Project
In my self contained special education classroom, students utilize interactive notebooks to organize content from their academic classes in a fun way. Many of my students struggle to independently write down their thoughts, so many modifications are made to the lesson to allow students to glue their answers into their notebooks. Interactive notebooks allow them to glue information from lessons into their composition notebooks. Some content is hidden under flaps, others pop up, and some are map students complete with support. This allows students to review information in order to study for quizzes. The interactive notebooks have helped students to perform better on quizzes as they can easily retrieve the information needed.
