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 Project

In my classroom, I use a variety of teaching techniques to help students learn. Some of the approaches I like to use are multisensory techniques to help all students excel in their learning. Multisensory techniques help all ages and abilities to engage in different subject areas.

Students have different skills and abilities.

I am requesting these materials to help students reach their IEP goals. For example, color sorting, shapes, addition problems, and more. The materials can be used in specific task boxes to engage students, develop fine motor skills, and encourage language skills based on their strengths and needs.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
