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 very creative in their own special way. Each one has a creative way to communicate and to express their emotions, wants, and needs. I teach a group of wonderful moderate-to-severe, non-verbal to low-verbal children with autism at a Title I school in southern California.

Some of my students learn best through a tactile approach, and some through an auditory approach.

Others need both. They love manipulating objects and keeping their hands busy. My students learn through repetition and structure.

My students come from low income families and often are lacking the age-appropriate materials they need to facilitate their communication skills.

My Project

The requested materials will help my students count with one-to-one correspondence. I will also be using the objects to teach about animals such as ocean animals and dinosaurs (my students' favorite).

Teaching my students how to pattern is very important as it helps with making logical connections and reasoning skills.

Patterns are found everywhere in our daily lives. We are also requesting a Hokki Stool as we need flexible seating in our class. All the materials will be used in our classroom so they will be enjoyed by our future students as well. Thank you.
