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 Early Childhood Special Education in the central area of Los Angeles. The majority of my students come from home and have never been in school or separated from their families.

My students range from 3-5 years old and have various learning disabilities that have made them eligible to participate in a special education class.

Some of my students are autistic, pre-verbal, and/or have other significant delays.

The walking rope will allow me to safely lead my students around campus, the visual schedule will allow my students to anticipate routines, and the dough sets will allow me to provide learning time while incorporating sensory stimuli. The magna-tiles allow my students to build structures in a fun way while at the same time incorporating shapes! Teachers Pay Teachers has many useful resources that align with our curriculum.

Thank you for your generosity, please know my students will benefit greatly from these items.
