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

Our Extraordinary Wildcats are a vibrant bunch that look forward to learning through fun activities. We take great pride in providing a stimulating educational environment for our students with intellectual disabilities (IND). While they are self-contained for academic courses, they experience typical high school electives and activities.

It is our goal, however, to bring more finance and technology into their academic studies in order to better prepare them for possible vocational careers in the community.

They are captivated by computers and the visual/audio stimulation from technology. This group of students is just as eager as everyone else to learn about technology and innovation in the real world. Join us in our journey to help our Extraordinary Wildcats become tech-savvy.

My Project

We, as individuals, are drawn to colors that are needed to create balance in our lives. We need colors in our homes, in our clothes, and even in the food we eat. The material and supplies that I am requesting for my students will help them capture “Adult Life Skills in Living Color”. Most of them have never seen a colored restaurant menu or a colored brochure. The requested colored printer will allow them to create and visualize certain aspects in developing the independent skills they need, to function in their day-to-day lives. The requested headphones will give them the ability to control the volume and block out noise and other distractions so that they may complete their necessary assignments during class and during other academic programs, virtual field trips, and presentations.
