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

Students in my classroom are amazing! They each are navigating school for the first time, while learning functional skills like talking, singing, and playing with friends.

My students see the world differently and make it a brighter place.

Because the students in my program have special needs, we need special experiences, highly motivating materials like painting, sensory sand, and Play-Doh.

Each day of school my students are excited and ready and learn, regardless of what we have or do not have. Help me give my students exciting and colorful learning experiences that will make their day and aide their development.
