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

Two of the most devastating things for an educator just happened this year to me. The laminator started eating paper and the printer got an error code that could not be fixed. While we had to put the laminator to rest (it was actually smoking), we are trying to rehabilitate the printer. Through our own troubleshooting (thanks to YouTube videos), we think the problem is with the transfer belt. We are hopeful that is fix will not only allow us to print materials in vibrant colors, but will also show our students that when something is broken we can try to repair it first before just buying a new one. Although more time and effort has been put into fixing the printer, in the end will we have saved money and reduced the amount of trash. How perfect would this be to complete by Earth Day!

We would love to be able to bring the games and stories in this project to life by printing speech and language companions to the games and stories!

Many of the students I work with come from limited resources and have behavioral, medical, and academic needs. Many are learning English as a second language, so meaningful materials are key. Some of the students live in group homes or foster homes and it can be a challenge to find motivating activities that will engage them. In addition, many students enjoy hands-on learning materials that they can manipulate.

Students at this school access their curriculum in unique ways which include VOD access, picture icons, gestures, AAC technology, vocalizations, verbalizations, communication core boards, and other functional methods of communication.
