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 students are young learners (3 to 4 years old) who are either on the autism spectrum or present with speech and language delays. My students are all wonderful, and they are all unique, but they are atypical learners who require a great amount of adult support throughout the day.

My students are very active and inquisitive.

Several are in a school environment for the first time, and they are learning to use language, increase self-help skills, and interact with same-age peers. Many of my students have some form of expressive language such as vocally imitating modeled words. All of my students are awesome, and they have all acquired new skills since entering our classroom.

My Project

I am requesting padded mats for my students to sleep on during quiet time. There have been many changes this year due to COVID-19, and my classroom is no exception. All of carpets have been removed so the yoga mats we had been using are no longer sufficient in providing comfortable sleeping surfaces. I currently only have one student in the classroom and she uses our only padded mat for quiet time; it has been an excellent soft surface for her.

I expect several of my remote students to return to the classroom in November and they will need padded mats for soft surfaces, since it looks like we won't have carpets for quite some time.

The mats also provide a soft surface for the students to play on during floor time. In addition, the mats can easily be cleaned to help maintain a sanitary environment.
