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 love being a special education teacher because everyday I learn how the become a better teacher and a better person through learning and practicing social and emotional skills with my students.

I'm going to be teaching in a setting three classroom for students with different disabilities from mild to moderate needs.

The donations to this project, fidgets, tape, and a chart will help to achieve the goals that are writing on student's IEP. My students needs different materials to learn and achieve their goals; for example, all the fidgets can help students to stay focused and help students to relax.
