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 am a special education teacher for grades K to 3rd. I currently have eight awesome students in my classroom. My students have been thrilled to be back at school after their winter break despite the current circumstances.

My students are in a Specific Learning Disability class and the majority are English Learners.

It is a MUST that accommodations are provided in order to meet their academic and language needs such as pencil grips and jumbo pencils. My students also need interactive and tangible objects to enhance their learning.

My students love learning and coming to school. Parents even state they dislike weekends because there is no school! I do my best to set a positive classroom environment where my students feel welcomed and ready to learn.

My Project

All my students were in distance learning last school year. It was challenging to assign writing assignments when many of my students needed accommodations or modifications that were given in the classroom. Parents and I had to get creative during these times.

I want to create a spark of love for writing so my students can become future authors!

With engaging and interactive writing tools, my students will be motivated to create and write their own stories. My students will be eager to use these writing tools as they write their sentences, paragraphs, books!
