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

Our Primary Center is a Title 1 school in Los Angeles. Our students are special because at the young age of 3 they are beginning their schooling careers. Students in our PAL program are identified with moderate to severe disabilities primarily autism, speech impairments, and intellectual disability.

The PAL program is an empirically studied early intervention program, where students from ages 3-5 can attend district preschool classes daily with supports embedded to help them succeed in daily life.

Our students practice language and social skills and also study STEM-based themes to build literacy, math, and cognitive abilities.

Part of what makes life in a PALs room great is that every day our students have new opportunities, to learn, play, and grow together. We strive for progress not perfection, in understanding that each of us learn differently and therefore receive tailored, hands-on instruction on the daily.

My Project

My Students have been doing so well with Virtual Learning. Now it is time for them to return to the classroom and have some safe hands-on learning experiences!

Students with special needs benefit greatly from hands-on sensory play like kinetic sand and painting.

Returning to school students will need many individualized materials to maintain CDC guidelines. Students will build with magnetic tiles to practice their colors and shapes! Please help my small classroom with the materials we need to once again have a fun preschool with learning experiences safely! Thank You!
