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 class bustles with excitement from an energetic group of boys in grades 2nd-5th. Their affectionate smiles and candid moments make it easy to enjoy being in the classroom, but every day is not so easy for my students.

The students in my class all have autism and related communication deficits that cause them to perform multiple grade levels below their same-age peers in academic and functional skills.

Many of my students have limited oral language and are being taught functional communication with augmentative or alternative communication systems. Additional deficits in sensory processing cause my students to have trouble filtering out stimuli in the environment and regulating their bodies' needs.

My Project

My students range in reading levels. Some are emerging with letter sounds and identification. For these students, favorite characters spark their interest and books become opportunities to look at pictures or listen to a story from an adult. Other students are reading on a first or second-grade level.

Help me grow our classroom library with some popular characters to pique interest, additional nonfiction books on their level, and bilingual editions.

By growing our class library, I will also be able to add books to take home packets so all kids (despite their home language) can have books during periods of remote learning that they can enjoy with family.
