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

Please help my moderate to severe special education class get new materials to support them in their own ways of learning. I have a class of 13 amazing students that have unique needs and personal goals that they work on everyday! These materials will do just that! It is so important to have engaging and fun educational tools to get my kids motivated to learn. Some of my students are working on mathematic goals, fine motor goals, pre-writing goals and self regulation goals. They are incredible students and deserve the best which is why I am asking for your help to give them the tools!
