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

My classroom is committed to catering to students with special educational needs, specifically those with DYSLEXIA, ADHD, and Spanish-speaking backgrounds, each with distinct learning styles that require customized approaches. I implement daily interventions focused on equipping them with fundamental reading skills. My dedication to this mission is boundless.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

A critical requirement is a touchscreen computer, indispensable for those unable to navigate traditional keyboards. Alongside, carefully curated educational games will reinforce learning and facilitate a smooth transition into daily lessons.

Many of my students are emergent bilinguals who require additional tactile resources to help them grasp English vocabulary. While I employ a dedicated program for their daily lessons, there are occasions when they necessitate supplementary support. Hands-on manipulatives are essential for them.

You might find the word builder games straightforward, but surprisingly, my fifth graders find them challenging. Nonetheless, all the students enjoy engaging with these games, and I appreciate how they enhance their reading vocabulary.

Given that the majority of my students are SPED/Dyslexic/ADHD and Emergent Bilingual, hands-on learning is always needed. Your donation to our class is greatly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to witness each of them develop into confident readers.
