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 Aztec Complex is a specialized district program that works with students who have autism and other disabilities. Our students have challenges in learning, social, and communicative skills. Our focus is to teach our students important independent life skills along with academics. We also focus on tackling behaviors of concerns and work on teaching self-management skills.

My students really thrive with hands-on learning, visual materials, and other sensory related tools to help with their learning and behavior management.

Each student at my school shows so much promise and I want to continue to give them everything I can to assist with learning important life skills for their future.

My Project

To be successful in the classroom, my students require a lot of hands on and stimulating materials that allow them to feed their sensory needs while being able to focus on the lesson. Sensory tools that help with the need for stimuli are included in this project, such as kinetic sand and liquid tiles. Some of the items in this project are designed for sensory stimuli to help calm their minds and bodies while working in the classroom. Due to their behavioral challenges, my students need tools that can help them keep calm. The other part of the project is for hands on learning. Giving my students tools that they can manipulate and use with their hands encourages their learning. Together, these materials will keep my students engaged and learning.
