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 teach at a district 75 elementary school in the Bronx. The students in my classroom are diagnosed with a range of developmental disabilities and are all non verbal. Despite these challenges, my students are always eager to learn and engage in the various aspects of the school environment. It is known all over the district that teachers and therapists go above and beyond to provide a warm but challenging learning environment. I would like to continue that tradition drive by adding simple and appropriate modifications to the current learning environment.

My Project

My highly sensory seeking non verbal students will benefit from the bright and large daily schedule which they will be able to refer to during transitions from session to session.

The large visual and sand timers will allow students to actively engage in time keeping when they are completing their independent work, toileting/"potty training and engaging in calming techniques.

Sensory breaks are frequent in our classroom and I would like students to have access to safe, durable sensory options which is why I chose the sensory tubes, see through blocks, see through balls and sensory beanbags. All of the sensory materials can be used to strengthen academic skills in a fun way while the dressing boards develop adaptive daily living skills which are emphasized in the classroom setting as well.The fine motor jars would be a helpful addition to the students IEP goal workstations.
