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 between the ages of seven and eleven. They have a been diagnosed with Down Syndrome, Autism, Speech Impairment, Developmental Delays and more. Most of my students are non-verbal and need to work in communication. Even though they might have the same diagnostic, they each have unique disabilities. I have 9 amazing students, 6 of them were all in my class last year.

Life skills students typically remain in the same Life Skills Unit through all their elementary years

My students would greatly benefit form an outdoor learning space and be able to do wonderful outside of the classroom projects

My Project

The elevated planter will make planting an enjoyable experience for all the students in my class. It will be easy for them to water the plants, weed them and observe them.

Gardening is an excellent way to learn science, sequencing, math, and writing.

We will keep a journal with observations. The elevated garden will make it easier for the students with mobility needs.

The students will be able to make drawings of their plants, compare the different heights, shapes, lengths and explain the life cycle of the plants through direct observation of all the steps in the process.
