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

As an Early Childhood Special Education teacher, the past four years in the classroom have been a wonderful learning experience. I currently teach in a Preschool for All Learners (PAL) classroom setting. In the classroom there are a total of 3 adults which include 1 teacher, 2 assistants, and a maximum of 15 students with special needs. The students are 3-5 years of age.

In the past years, the student’s disabilities varied from autism, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairments, and speech or language impairment which are some of the disability categories that IDEA covers.

My focus as a preschool special education teacher, is to provide my students with quality education in the areas of social emotional, language, cognitive, physical, literacy, and mathematics development. The children enjoy coming to school everyday, and so do I. We look forward to learning in a fun environment!

My Project

The resources I chose will benefit my students academically. For instance, the iPad will tremendously benefit my students who have language impairments and autism. In my four years of experience as a special education preschool teacher, I noticed that my students enjoy viewing books through an iPad. The lively colors and sounds make the reading experience more exciting for preschoolers with disabilities.

The Magna-Tiles encourage young children with special needs to work on their gross motor development while using a fun activity.

Children can also be encouraged to label color and shapes to enhance their learning experience. In addition, my students enjoy working with Mold & Play Sand during outdoor play time. The sand seems to comfort my students who have sensory issues and encourages them to think outside the box in creating shapes and figures using small shovels and containers.

Overall, the supplies I am requesting will be utilized to encourage my students to have a fun and effective learning experience in a preschool setting.
