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 have 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 that include VOD access, picture icons, gestures, AAC technology, vocalizations, verbalizations, communication core boards, and other functional methods of communication.

Please help give us additional button maker supplies, so my students can create motivational flair that they can wear. My students take pride in their learning and would love to showcase their growth and success by displaying it for all to see. This will also be a great way to connect with students when they have their birthdays. We can make custom buttons and canvas signs so each student feels appreciated. Additionally, these buttons can be a unique way to communicate with parents. Students' speech goals can be added to the image for all to see and know what to work on. This visuals will help remind them to practice each day.
