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 teach deaf and hard-of-hearing students, students with autism, and English Language Learners in a high-poverty, Title I school. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch everyday. They face many challenges in their lives, including learning the basics of reading, writing and math.

My students have a lot to overcome, but they are rising to the challenge.

Once my students realize they can learn, their learning takes off and the possibilities are endless! As a teacher, it is so rewarding to see students who once thought they can't, now realize they can, and it is my joy to guide them towards that realization.

My Project

My students are struggling this year with many of the basics. These materials will provide opportunity for high-interest activities that will help students gain the foundational skills that they so desperately need.

These materials will support my students in developing their executive function, fine motor, and basic reading and writing skills.

The visual timer will help motivate students and support transitions. The paints, Wikki Stix, gel boards, paper, printing letters practice books, and alphabet tracing cards will boost fine motor and writing skills. The early language activity box, big box of easy-to-read words, magnetic letters, and sequencing puzzles will support the development of early reading skills.
