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

My students are amazing! They are eager to learn and participate in new activities, however the lack of experiences and materials will hold them back. They have a difficult time connecting with traditional books and curriculum. So everything needs adapted and made durable so that they can practice their skills every day.

My students are 4-7 years old but are all functioning on a toddler academically.

All of my students have limited social skills and have significant language deficit in expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language skills. My students are often frustrated because they cannot communicate their needs and wants. Many times they struggle to keep up with the other students because they do not speak and cannot participate in the same ways. I work tremendously hard to expose them to as many experiences within my means, however this is getting harder and harder.

My students are diagnosed with intellectual disability and autism. They learn and respond positively to curriculum that is visual, kinesthetic and allows them to practice their skills repeatedly.

I am requesting materials that will be used to increase my students visual and tactile experience to help them develop their reading and writing skills. I am requesting letter and number tactile tracing cards, wooden puzzles, counting manipulatives and sensory reinforcers to help my students access the curriculum.
