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

The students in my classroom are 7th-grade, special education students. They have intellectual, sensory, and emotional impairments that are aided by inclusion in a small classroom setting. My students struggle with mathematics concepts, and this year our goals are to build confidence in our foundational math skills and to become more engaged with our learning.

My students work together as a community based on their learning styles and interests.

They work very hard, and a big issue for them is the retention of topics. I am always looking for new and interesting ways to help them to thrive and remember different topics. We are a part of a large school that celebrates inquisitive learning. All of my students are working hard towards high school and college by relating all of their topics to real-world situations.

My Project

Every year I get an amazing group of students. Unfortunately they do not have access to all of the supplies that will help them succeed. We are a very technology based school and have both math and reading programs that can be accessed by a computer, some of which is for students who are not on grade level with reading, and so they need resources read out loud to them.

Having access to headphones will help my students focus on assignments as well give them quiet during brain breaks.

By having a classroom set of headphones my students will be ready to learn and able to be more focused in class! This will also help my students focus at home if we happen to have to go remote at any point of the school year!

In addition I regularly speak to my students about the importance of Health and Wellness. This will enable them to listen to calming music while completing assignments and to listen to books on tape without the major distractions they regularly encounter at home.
