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 teach an Intellectual Disability Severe K-5th grade class. Every single student is unique. I see that each possesses different abilities and characteristics that make them special. Since they are nonverbal, they communicate with actions and gestures. They are more engaged in hands-on activities. At times, I see when they need a break because they start getting up or when they enjoy a song because they dance. It is a way for them to communicate with us. We focus on their strength to meet their needs.

My Project

The materials will be used for inside classroom activities. The materials will improve our student's engagement and experience in school. Our students are in the stage of cause and effect which these materials will help them in this stage. Our students It would also improve their behavior since they will be more engaged inside the classroom. Our students learn best by using hands-on material. They have a challenge using just paper and pencil or worksheets.

As a teacher, I want to improve their experience in school by proving them with fun activities.
