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

My students are in a blended VPK/Pre-K special education classroom. They are adorable kids, ages 3-5, and they are eager to learn. They love storytime and learning through play.

Our kindergarten students usually start school already behind their non-economically disadvantaged peers.

About 60% of our incoming students are also learning to speak English. The goal of our Pre-K special needs program is to give our students the early intervention services they need so they can be in the least restrictive environment when they go to kindergarten with a goal of participating in regular education classes.

Our Pre-K students are identified with developmental delays, speech and language delays, Down syndrome, autism, and have cerebral palsy. The majority of them are just learning to talk, and some are learning to walk with assistance. My students need hands-on learning materials to help them learn readiness skills through play.

My Project

I teach a blended pre-k class, with 10 typically developing children and up to 8 students with special needs. This project will be used to help my students with Autism by providing them with items to help them learn with their peers and interact with them.

I have multiple students with Autism and this project will help me set up a sensory center in my classroom.

They all have different needs that range from always having something to chew on, needing a weighted item or a safe space to get away from the stimulation in the classroom.
