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 teach a group of 18 amazing children with special needs in a Preschool setting! About 95% of my students are non-verbal. They communicate with visuals, by pointing, and with verbal cues. The materials I am requesting will help me create colored visuals for each student to have their own communication core boards to communicate in school and at home with their family members. I am planning to create visuals and laminate them to send home so that what we are teaching at school can be continued at home using the same materials (visuals).
