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

The students in my classroom have sensory processing disorders and Autism. Students often struggle with processing different environmental factors in the classroom which impact student learning.

The primary focus in our classroom is communication.

The students in the classroom often communicate with each other utilizing pictures to express their wants or needs. In our classroom, we use a hands-on approach as we cook weekly, create art projects, utilize frequent movement breaks, and incorporate items that make every aspect of academics a hands-on experience.

Each student in my classroom has an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) which provides them with a unique educational experience. Students participate in breakfast and snack in our classroom. During these times we learn how to set a table, use manners, and further our focus of communication.

This year as a school we as a school are focusing on life skills activities like grocery shopping, making a bed, doing laundry etc.

My Project

This year as a school we are focusing on life skills activities. We are learning how to clean windows, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, etc. Our students will learn how to maintain a mock house hold in our new Life Skills Labs.

By learning how to clean they can take these skills into the real world and get jobs where they are best suited.

This allows them to have real skills where when they go into the real world they can help in their homes or groups or own homes and clean. If they get jobs in a store or business they have a skill their job coach wouldn't have to work on for a long time.
