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 in a low-income/high poverty school district, educating students mainly on the Autism spectrum. I have eight terrific, eager to learn students, who show such great enthusiasm to learn each day. They need various types of supports to learn new skills in school including visual, auditory and tangible supports.

Every child is unique, whether they have a disability or not!

Although I provide an individualized learning program for each child, they have all helped me to understand that even the smallest steps of progression can sometimes be our greatest achievements. It is important that I give them a learning environment that is supportive to all of their needs, as well as a culture that is positive to learning.

My Project

My classroom is in desperate need of small group areas in the classroom, however we have limited furniture in our school. The square folding tables that I am requesting for my students will provide sufficient small groups consisting of 2 to 4 students for multiple learning opportunities such as guided reading groups, mathematics groups and social skills activities.

Small group instruction has significant impact on learning instruction because it promotes differentiated instructional practices for each student.

This achievement will not occur overnight, however, by starting the school year with these tables, my students can begin their journey to become successful learners and myself and my staff can become successful educators. It is unfortunate that we do not have the materials in our schools, such as furniture, to help our students fulfill their needs as lifelong learners; therefore, the need for these tables is necessary.
