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 a Special education teacher that works with students who have a wide range of learning, mental, emotional, and physical disabilities. I adapt general education lessons and teach various subjects, such as reading, writing, and math, to students with mild and moderate disabilities in a low income area.

All of my students have hopes and dreams of being able to finish school and go on to a community college or getting a job.

They would like to be successful and need extra support to do so.

My Project

The hands-on sensory toys would be very beneficial for students needing a break from the academics. I could also use the hands-on activities as a reward system to encourage students to complete more work. The wipe clean activity books are perfect for these little ones that are learning crucial skills necessary to be successful in Kindergarten and in future grades. It teaches them foundational skills; letter identification, sound identification, numbers, colors, shapes, and works on fine motor skills. The other activity books will help them master skills like; cutting, tracing, matching, sorting, and sequential order.

The writing workbooks would help students that are struggling to write complete sentences and/or paragraphs independently.

The sensory toys are great for when they need to take a break from working. It's also a great workout for their little fingers. I would be able to reuse each year with new incoming students at that level.
