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

I teach a group of first and second grade special needs students in the Bronx, NY. It's a self-contained bridge classroom with 12 students, 1 teacher, and 3 paraprofessionals. My students face a lot of challenges not only academically but in their personal life as well. It is essential that students not only excel academically but also gain the appropriate social and real-world skills that will facilitate their college and career readiness from this early age.

Jim Henson said, "Kids don't remember what you try to teach them, they remember what you are."

It is my goal to create a safe, warm, and kind community in my classroom. I strive to facilitate socio-emotional student learning by placing an emphasis on building my students' character as well as their skill sets.

My Project

Teaching in a special education classroom means that I have to provide my students with the tools they need to keep their brain clear and busy.

Although all teachers plan their classroom and day to day activities with their students' needs and wants in mind, leading a special education classroom requires some extra planning, flexibility, and accommodations to help ensure every child has what they need to progress.

Organization plays a key role in their success, as does the opportunity to exercise their brains in creative ways.

By providing my students with individual book baggies, it will help them keep their reading tools and materials organized and set them up for success in reading workshop. The chair stoppers will allow the students to move around without distracting others, and the blocks will provide them with an outlet to help take a brain break that is also exercising their creativity!
