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 learn best when they are fully engaged! My students thrive in a classroom environment that accesses their multi-modalities. They learn the most in a hands on approach learning. One of the best ways for my students to learn is to engage in the lesson by various methods.

My students are exceptional students!

They are in special education because they mostly have learning disabilities. They are enthusiastic learners and are ready for a challenge! I want to offer many ways for my students to stay engaged in my class.

My Project

Students will use the laptop to during independent work time to practice word processing skills, create PowerPoint slides, visit educational websites and practice researching skills to develop the skills needed in the 21st century.

The majority of my students are visual learners who benefit from educational websites that can enhance their learning in the areas of reading foundational skills based on their level on their reading level, phonics, and reading comprehension levels.

My students will be better prepared to take online assessments such as the SBAC. They will be comfortable using a computer in more ways than just the standard use of surfing the web.
