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 classroom is the first Skills for Learning and Living (SLL) program at the school. Our school is located east of downtown Houston where the majority of the community is considered low-socioeconomic. Although my students have a variety of disabilities such as Autism and Intellectual Disability, my students shine through it all.

They may interact differently with other students or might need extra support to finish and/or understand an activity but nevertheless, they are my amazing students.

My students are curious just about anything in their lives, whether it is an assignment on the board or the paperclip on my desk. They can also sometimes be afraid to try something new but we are working on them becoming independent day by day. My students are special in their own way and I believe that is what makes them unique.

My Project

My job as a teacher is to make sure that all students have all the right materials and resources to receive a proper education. This year, I have a new student in my Life Skills classroom who is visually impaired. This student needs tremendous help and materials to make sure he is successful in my classroom.

With the braille labeler, braille counting, and tactile learning set I am sure that he will meet and exceed our expectations in getting a great education!

All of the materials will help him learn braille, increase his sense of touch and make him feel like he is part of the classroom. Because he deserves that. I hope you can help me in making this year a great one for him and his education!
