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 have the sweetest students. They are always ready to lend a helping hand and are excited to get to school to learn something new. The students in my Life Skills class are awesome and don't see their disabilities as something that makes them different but better. My students benefit from hands-on learning activities. All of them share a common goal, to live as independently as possible. Every student is eager to learn and they look forward to activities that will help them gain the skills they need to live a happy life.

Together we are Unstoppable.

My Project

Being in a life skills class is always fun and educational but, it's even better when assignments and schedules are in color. By donating to this project, you are giving my students an HP color printer, that will allow me to print out social stories and eyecatching labels that captivate their attention.

One of the main goals of a life skills unit is to teach our students, with intellectual disabilities, autism, etc, vocational skills that they can carry with them their entire lives.

Having social stories in color as well as labels and schedules in our class helps our students identify what is expected and in turn, they are more efficient, independent, and successful. If we help our students become independent, we have gotten closer to one of our main goals, and I feel that this color printer is one step closer to get them there.

For example, our classroom schedule is currently printed in black & white, and our students seem to ignore it and forget when it's time for gym or reinforcement time, etc. The schedule is posted in the front of the classroom, but the students seem to look passed it. My hope is to have the color printer, so I can make a colorful and captivating schedule with social icons, in order for our students to understand what subject we are on or what activity is next.
