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

The items I’ve requested, like plush toys, crayons, and books, will help meet my students’ basic needs, providing them with a more supportive and enriching learning environment. Many of my students with ASD struggle with hunger and a lack of focus when their basic needs aren’t met. By providing healthy snacks, sensory tools, and classroom supplies, they’ll have the nutrition and comfort needed to stay engaged. Sensory tools will help them self-regulate, reduce anxiety, and focus on learning. These resources will create a more stable, structured environment where my students can thrive.

My main goal is to provide my students with the essentials they need to succeed academically and emotionally.

By addressing their basic needs, I aim to create a classroom environment where my students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. I also hope to foster greater independence and confidence in my students, as they will be better able to manage their emotions, stay focused, and participate actively in lessons. Ultimately, this project will help create a more inclusive and enriching learning experience for my students.

My students with ASD are incredibly special because of their unique perspectives, strengths, and determination. They face challenges daily, but they show resilience and a willingness to learn. Each student brings something valuable to our classroom and with the right support, their creativity, problem-solving skills, and enthusiasm for learning shine. They deserve the best tools and resources to help them reach their full potential.
