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

My students are creative, knowledgeable, caring and overall very excited to learn. Being in a special education classroom means my students need various materials, equipment and resources to learn. My students work on academics, fine and gross motor skills and daily living skills. They love learning through hands on activities, singing, dancing, playing and having fun. As their teacher, I want to provide them with the best opportunities to be successful in life! See the able not the label!

My Project

All these items deserve a good home and by home I mean my classroom! These items are very much needed to help my students be successful in their academic skills and daily living skills. Although, we have tables, it's always nice to change up our seats every now and again to stimulate engagement. The lap desks and yoga balls will be an amazing addition to a special education classroom by offering versatility to our learning environment. Big pencils and pencil grips are always necessary to promote emerging handwriting skills. Who knows, I may have the next J.K Rowling! Not only do the pencils and grips help with our fine motor skills, but also the gears and magnetic tiles. To help with our daily living skills we do have to work on potty training. Having some students that need supports in areas like gross motor skills the toilet seat would greatly increase our abilities to progress in our potty training process!
