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

This is my first year working in the education system and with special education kids. While working with them I have seen they need a lot of help with supplies and organizational skills. This is why I decided to get some supplies to help them with that and also some supplies to help with positive reinforcement with my kids! Being on the Eastside, the kids I help get so excited just for some pencils and cool erasers and just made feeling special and cared about when they get these things! I also want to work towards what I teach them now to go home with them and they can be successful at home and at school.

Help me help my students stay organized and make to feel special.

My Project

COVID has impacted not just our school but also our kids at the school. COVID was hard on us adults. I would not even imagine how it could be for the kids. I wanted to get some things that I know even some teachers are struggling to get! Being on the Eastside and what these kids see in a day they get excited for just a pencil gift sometimes so all of this would make their world happy!

I got the Cricut to personalize my kids' things like their pencil boxes, folders, notebooks, etc.

that way they know what each thing is for, and with rewards, I can make more personalized/school spirit things for them! I want the binders, folders to help with organizational things because my kids struggle with making sure they keep track of everything and even notebooks are needed to make sure they are organized as well! Which all these organizational things will help them at home when they know exactly what their homework is!

The other fidget toys and stuff is to help with positive reinforcement with my behavior kids and just the other kids in general to create and treasure chest full of things they can pick and work towards!
