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 part of a special education program called Preschool for All Learners (PAL). They all present developmental delays but that does not delay their curiosity in learning. My students are lively little ones that are excited and anxious about new activities. They enjoy hands-on activities, books, music, technology, and dance.

My students are exceptional, and providing them with the proper materials to reach milestones is one of my goals as a teacher.

They all have a variety of disabilities, and they are all unique in their own way. My students help each other and are kind and respectful. What makes this group so special is that they build each other up, and we all learn from each other.

My Project

Our classroom library is in need of a makeover. A new library for our classroom will provide our students with a variety of books such as social emotional, sensory, math, and language. Our new library also matches our props and puppets.

Our new library will provide the classroom teachers to come up with lessons; lessons with sequence, retelling, and vocabulary.

Our students will also have the opportunity to explore the new library independently and expand their imagination.

Providing our students with a new library will help them to continue to develop their skills and grow their literacy interest.
