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

As a special education teacher in a fourth-grade ICT class, I am dedicated to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment for all my students. Our class consists of a diverse group of learners who benefit greatly from resources that cater to their unique needs.

To enhance our classroom, we are seeking support for essential supplies, including resource folders, sensory tools, a printer, a rolling cart, and materials for visual representation.

These tools will help students organize their work, engage their senses, and understand concepts more effectively.

Resource folders and a printer will provide students with a personalized space to keep their assignments and materials, promoting organization and independence. Sensory tools will help students with different sensory needs to focus and stay engaged. Visual materials will aid in comprehension and retention, making learning accessible to all students.

Your generous contribution will have a significant impact on our students’ education, helping them thrive and reach their full potential. Thank you for supporting our classroom.
