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

I am about to begin my journey as a first-year special education teacher in a K-5 self-contained severe and profound autism classroom! My students are incredible and will be the biggest blessing in my life. I want to create a classroom where they feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Since I am just starting, I need essential materials to set up a structured and engaging environment.

I am looking to gather basic supplies to start out my first year. Eventually, I will also need support in all of the adaptive materials like visual schedules, sensory tools, hands-on learning materials, and adaptive seating. All of these resources will help my students communicate, focus, and develop essential life skills.

Your generosity will make a huge difference in giving my students the tools they need to thrive, this is just the first step. Thank you for helping me create a classroom where every child can become the best version of themselves!
