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

My students are in a blended classroom that consists of a diverse crowd of special needs students, English language learners, and students from the general education population.

My students range in age from three to five years old.

As a Special Education teacher, I serve a diverse crowd of students with special needs. The students I serve are mostly African-American and Hispanic. My students come from low socioeconomic circumstances. The parents and community try their best to support these students. These students inspire me to be a better teacher and person, and I learn from them daily. The uniqueness each of my students brings to the class is unimaginable.

My Project

Teachers Pay Teachers is my new go-to when it comes to remote learning! The number of great resources I have been able to purchase from Teachers Pay Teachers is priceless, but unfortunately priceless means costly as well.

I have not only found so many amazing resources that I can utilize with my special needs students during small groups, but have also found amazing themed resources for my students to utilize while completing "Asynchronous" learning at home with their parents!

I am requesting a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to not only support my fellow educators, but also to support my students for at-home learning. Not only would I love to be able to support my students at-home learning, but also be able to have access to more resources to better me as an educator as well!
