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

For the past three years, I have been working as a Special Education Teacher with students with autism. I AM VERY PROUD TO TEACH SUCH AMAZING KIDS. I work at a low income, Title I, Elementary School, in a self-contained setting. My students are all unique, they have unique personalities and character traits. They face challenges processing language. Despite the many challenges they face, they are excellent listeners and they can be amazingly perceptible. They are visual learners. They experience sensory issues. Friendly relationships are challenged for them however, my students are just like any other students: they love to be accepted and valued by others.

My Project

As the 2020-2021 school year will be starting virtually, my students and I still need supplies to help them with the transition into online learning. The special education supplies needed are:

Educational supplies: notebooks, pencil grips, pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, dry erase lapboard, low odor dry erase markers, bookbags, and manipulatives.

These supplies will allow my students to complete assignments and projects.

Sanitation supplies: to keep my students safe from harmful germs and bacteria we will need hand sanitizer and wipes.

Reading supplies: Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White is the first novel we are going to read.

Classroom supplies: The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to use special education educational activities to enhance my virtual teaching strategies.

As a teacher, I challenge myself every day to serve my students with support, be their voice when they do not have the words to express themselves, help them to see beyond their differences and recognize their achievements. Teaching my amazing students helps me every day to learn and grow as a person.

My students deserve support to meet their educational needs. They are amazing kids who need our communities support.
