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 preschool teacher for all learners. My students have a range of abilities and support necessities. Our program uses the Creative Curriculum to guide our students' learning which requires accommodations and modifications appropriate for our students' needs. My students are extremely active, and their attention spans last no longer than ten to fifteen minutes per activity. My students have many needs from basic daily life skills (e.g. diapering) to exposure to age-appropriate standards-based curriculum.

My school is a Title I school that serves students who come from low-income families and all qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program.

My students need to be highly motivated by a variety of resources to capture their attention and develop their individual strengths. My students are eager learners and come to school excited for the day. They are amazing little human beings who will become important contributors to society with the appropriate support and resources.

My Project

Thank you for taking the time to invest in my students' future. Returning after a year of distance learning has been a challenge for everyone. One of the most challenging tasks is being able to meet every student's individual sensory needs.

By donating to my project you will be supporting my students learning through sensory exploration.

My students will have access to a variety of sensory materials that are washable to continue providing a safe learning space. Learning activities will be implemented while exploring the sensory materials. For example, letters and numbers treasure hunts. My students are highly motivated by hands-on activities that will be possible with your donations.

I appreciate you taking the time to support my students.
