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

In my self-contained special education classroom, there is a community of learners of diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and grade levels. They are kind, resilient, and exceptional students interested in a wide range of activities from urban planning to basketball.

Your gift will give my students with disabilities the opportunity to learn in ways that best fit their needs and to engage in a full range of STEAM activities from home.

The students in my special education class have mild to moderate intellectual, cognitive, and physical disabilities. Our class is made up of 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students. Each student is unique, creating a diverse group of learners in my class with varying interests, strengths, abilities, and learning styles.

As a special education teacher, I work every day to find solutions and resources to help develop my students' academic, communication, and social skills while keeping them safe from COVID-19.

My Project

In our Special Education STEAM classroom my students are discovering and applying the Design Thinking Process to develop solutions to problems they deem important. As they develop their creativity, cooperative learning skills and problem solving skills, they also acquire a deep understanding and value of empathy, entrepreneurial mindset, and sustainable living. They will be using the markers to create more detailed and colorful designs and to put together vivid and striking posters/presentations, to share the results of the testing phase of the design process. The process relies on the natural, and coachable, students’ ability to be intuitive, to recognize patterns, and to construct ideas that are emotionally meaningful as well as functional. I am teaching my students things they will often need to know and use again. I am teaching them how to be creative, design, and deal with unexpected situations.
