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 students I work with are full of joy! Although some of my students come from limited resources and have behavioral, medical, and academic needs, they crave learning and structure. Many are balancing English as a second language, so meaningful materials that appeal to all learning styles 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, my students enjoy hands-on learning materials that they can manipulate to gain sensory input.

My students are creative learners and this extends to how they 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.

This project is requesting materials that will help my students express themselves in a creative way, while practicing their communication skills. This year we did a couple of directed drawing activities to gage following directions skills and they loved this activity. I hope to use these supplies to incorporate more of that next year because it was such a motivating lesson. They will be able to use the pencils, markers, and pens to achieve their drawings. These creations will be brought to life with the Crayola markers, crayons, and pencils. Additionally, my students will feel represented with the World Skin Tone colors and learn important social emotional skills with the Kindness colors. Students had to listen, follow directions, write a sentence, and share about their picture. They practiced being a good audience while their peers shared and so many pragmatic skills were targeted. It was such a simple activity, but so much learning took place. These materials will help my students continue to learn in a creative manner.
