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

Please help in donating to my project for my students. I am moving to a new school and a new classroom and working with individuals with autism spectrum disorders in the materials. Being requested will be used in a variety of ways which will implement strategies and behavioral support systems that will engage learners in concrete and hands-on learning. The Materials being requested are essential because the students can learn through multi sensory approaches that include hands-on and ways in which they can grasp the concepts using the skills they are equipped with.

Thank you again for your kind donation to my classroom and to my students we greatly appreciate it and look forward to getting the materials to use throughout the school year.
