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

The two amazing classrooms that I work in have six wonderful kindergarten students on the Autism spectrum. They are in a specialized programs in NYC Public Schools for students with moderate to severe autism, where we focus on individualized instruction in social skills, communication, and life skills.

The materials in this project will give my students new learning materials for their independent work stations to help them practice and maintain skills they have learned in school.

The shape sorters will allow my students to learn shapes and be able to sort them accordingly. The alphabet ice creams will let me students match by letter and color and learn their alphabet. All of these materials will allow students to continue their learning and become independent.
