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

I am a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school. My students face several challenges both in and out of the classroom. My students have all been identified with special needs such as autism, intellectual disabilities, developmentally delayed, language impairment, and deaf and hard of hearing. This upcoming school year will look very different. Our district is starting the school year via distance learning. I have created a project that will help my special education preschool students. I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences both in the classroom and at home.

My Project

Due to the pandemic, my students were doing distance learning at home. My students recently went back in person. This has been a new adjustment for my students and their families. I have created this project so we can have manipulatives in the classroom to work on different skills since many were not able to practice these skills at home. With these manipulatives, they will be able to work on their cognitive, math, social, language, and physical development. Theses tools will provide them with a meaningful learning experience in the classroom.
