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 young learners (3 to 4 years old) who are either on the autism spectrum or present with speech and language delays. My students are all wonderful, and they are all unique, but they are atypical learners who require a great amount of adult support throughout the day.

My students are very active and inquisitive.

Several are in a school environment for the first time, and they are learning to use language, increase self-help skills, and interact with same-age peers. Many of my students who have varying levels of receptive and expressive language such as vocally imitating modeled words. All of my students are awesome, and they have all acquired new skills since entering our classroom.

My Project

My project consists of a wide variety of cause & effect and sensory toys as well as art supplies to meet the individual needs of my students. My students have been able to dramatically increase their speech & language, social and academic skills since the beginning of the school year. The new resources that I am requesting will help to further increase the skills of all of my students in all of these developmental domains.

My students have many interests within the classroom and the right resources are instrumental in furthering their development.

For example, many of my students have demonstrated a strong interest in phones and vacuum cleaners and the toy versions will be highly motivating in helping my students increase play and language skills.

There are many sensory play items such as stress relief and puffer balls since all of my students are on the autism spectrum. These resources help to calm students so that they can focus and attend to instruction throughout the school day.
