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

The students in my class come from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities. Most students come from immigrant parents that are struggling. I teach a collaborative integrated class consisting of a majority of students with special needs ranging from classifications such as autism and emotionally disturbed. Even with these circumstances, they have a desire to achieve and try their best. The area in which my school is located is a rural area with many low-income housing projects. Most parents are receiving public assistance and are from single-family homes.

My Project

The students in my classroom have different learning styles. Some students have various diagnoses of ADHD and autism. The use of these flexible seating options will help all types of learners grow, especially helping with their focus.

During Read Alouds when the students are seated at the carpet, the same students always find it difficult to focus and sit still.

Those students will now have a chance to sit in a more functionable seat that will better meet their academic needs and in turn result in better self-esteem. This will help with their self acceptance as well as being included with their peers.
