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

I have an Autistic Support classroom that is new to the school. I work in a Title I high school in Philadelphia. The students that I work with struggle with expressive and receptive language abilities. Visuals are an essential tool to help students with autism understand their environment and express their wants and needs.

I am trying to make my classroom a second home to my students and I focus on creating a safe, fun environment.

This "homey" environment is where we spend most of our day and it is important that we have the supplies that we need. I am thankful for all of your support!

My Project

I'm asking for differents types of Sharpies to be able to trace, draw and to be able to fill in the drawings with out spending a lot of time. The cart will be to storage all the crafting supplies.

We wanto to make reading a loud more fun through crafting, coloring and drawing.

The big sticky notes its to be use when we are doing out reading at loud to work on the skills such as: Problem and Solutions, Decoding, Reasoning and Background Knowledge, etc. Ink is always needed in my classroom to print images. Paper case because we use a lot of them.
