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

My students have multiple disabilities which impact their learning styles, learning abilities, and needs. We need Magna-tiles, laminating pouches, dry erase boards, and more. With these items, they will be better equipped to focus and learn by using hands on learning strategies and techniques. These items will also allow me to incorporate individualized and differentiated instruction by creating small groups. My students focus on learning how to adapt and transition into the real world post secondary school. These items will also allow for ongoing learning of real world scenarios and how to appropriately respond and interact during these scenarios. Thank you!
