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

My students use pictures and AAC devices (iPads with special applications) in order to communicate with others. It is so important that they always have access to their iPads and communication books so they can express themselves. In some of our classrooms, every child has a book or iPad and it is hard to keep all of these voices straight. In addition, we are also lucky to have 1:1 iPads in our classrooms which means there are even more devices in the rooms.

We are in desperate need of a system to label these communication tools so we can find their “voice” quickly!

I am requesting two label makers and extra labels to print labels with student names so it is clear who the device belongs to. In addition, I have chosen larger labels to make labels that will serve as reminders that this tool is someone’s voice and should always be accessible to the student. I have also chosen a variety of tags that can hang from the handle or carrying straps to clearly identify the device as an AAC tool. I also plan on letting my students pick the color of the tags so that they will have more ownership of their device. These materials will ensure my students will always be able to “find their voice”.
