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

One of the most rewarding aspects of working with students in Special Day Classes is witnessing their individual growth, resilience, and creativity. Each student brings their own strengths, perspectives, and challenges to the classroom, which makes the learning experience both dynamic and meaningful. What I love most about my students is their ability to surprise me every day with their potential, whether it’s a breakthrough moment, a new skill mastered, or simply their joy when they interact with learning tools that resonate with them.

I deeply admire their unique ways of engaging with the world and their diverse ways of thinking.

It’s inspiring to see how they light up when they are given resources that allow them to express themselves, learn at their own pace, and develop a sense of accomplishment.
