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 in a low-income/high poverty school district, educating students with intellectual disabilities and students on the Autism spectrum. I have eight terrific, eager-to-learn students, who show such great enthusiasm to learn each day. They need various types of supports to learn new skills in school including visual, auditory and tangible supports.

Every child is unique, whether they have a disability or not!

Although I provide an individualized learning program for each child, they have all helped me to understand that even the smallest steps of progression can sometimes be our greatest achievements. It is important that I give them a learning environment that is supportive to all of their needs, as well as a culture that is positive to learning.

My Project

My students need supplies to support their learning at home as we continue remote learning this year. They do not have dry erase boards, markers, crayons, notebooks, pencils or even math manipulatives that they would use on a daily basis when they were in-person for school. These typical classroom supplies were always given to them as they needed them; however, my students come from low-income households, and do not have access to these necessary supplies.

We are trying to overcome the challenges that we continue to face since this pandemic began, and these supplies will help us to overcome some of those challenges by improving our emotional well-being, relationships with others, and our school achievement.

With these supplies, my students will no longer just sit and listen to their teachers talking. They will be able to be active participants by using these materials during synchronous instruction.
