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 caseload is made up of thirty wonderful students in grades kindergarten through fifth. The students I work with come from very diverse backgrounds with many different cultures represented. About 90% of the students are English language learners and speak a different language at home. Communication is a foundation for daily life; however, many of my students lack the basic skills to express themselves and find daily academic and social task challenging. Due to the fact that a significant amount of my students are learning English as a second language, often they lack the basic sound-letter correspondence, do not have basic reading skills, have a limited vocabulary and struggle to comprehend information. Additionally, a significant number of the students come from low income households. My students work hard everyday and I am constantly looking for new ways to get them engaged in lessons and expose them to new experiences!

My Project

Having a printer in the therapy room allows my students and I to constantly adapt lessons and materials based on individual needs and interests throughout the day. Due to the fact that my students come from grades K-5 with various needs and diverse backgrounds, I am constantly adjusting and creating lessons and materials that will best teach my lessons and keep my students engaged.

Having a printer with ink on hand allows activities and goals to be changed simply based on the type of day the student is having.

It also allows me to provide consistent practice and carryover of the target skills. Being able to print an activity focused on a specific skill at the end of the therapy session allows me to provide the most effective and accurate support reflecting exactly what the student demonstrated during the session.

Additionally, having a printer on hand provides the opportunity for letters and progress notes to be sent to parents on a regular bases. Keeping in contact with parents is very important for the success of the students. The ink for the printer typically lasts us over a year, therefore we will be able to get a lot of good use out of this project and many students will be able to benefit from it.
