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 am currently a special education teacher in a high needs middle school. My students are eager to learn but lack proper classroom resources. I am requesting necessary classroom manipulatives to help them grasp algebra topics and reference posters for our walls.

My students are very motivated and try their best despite the academic disabilities.

In addition to Special Education classification obstacles, my students come from low income homes. All of the students in my school are eligible for free or reduced lunch due to the household incomes.

My Project

My students are classified as emotionally disturbed, academically delayed or learning disabled. They need all the help they can get to get them to the same level as their middle school peers. I am requesting a variety of math manipulatives to tend to their tactile needs including base ten blocks, pattern materials, and geometry solids. I am also requesting visual aids for our classroom walls so they can reference current and prior math concepts.

If you think back to your school days you probably recall the events that you actually did something during class, like building a model or dissecting a frog.

I would love to give my students the same opportunity. With your help, I will be able to do just that and meet their individualized education needs in the process. Thank you in advance for your support!
