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

I am a first-year Special Education teacher that will be teaching at a high school this upcoming school year. The students that I will be teaching have learning disabilities. I will have students with different academic levels. Therefore, it is important for me to have supplies that will help differentiate their instruction. Students will be able to use whiteboards/markers as a flexible means to provide answers for assessments by allowing them to draw their answers on the whiteboard. I would also like to do student-driven activities with the 100 Task Cards. There are also some basic supplies like markers, pencils, and highlighters.

Ms. Rios South East High School Grades 9-12
