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 an elementary school special education teacher in a Title I school that is full of love and dedication to learning. Finding books that target specific phonics skills for students in upper elementary can be hard to find and costly. These books and supplies will allow me to create better lessons and support student deficits to close gaps in their achievement. The storage cabinets would help me with the organization of my many groupings throughout the day and to keep the materials needed prepped and ready to go. I am also asking for a new rug because my current rug is quite old and is needing to be replaced.

My students have many things to offer from special interests, athletic abilities, and leadership skills, which can be overshadowed by their difficulties in academic learning.

My goal is to help them shine, build the confidence they need, prepare them for higher leverage and higher level learning, build growth mindset, and above all else feel loved. Please help me support my mission and my goals as a special educator.
