Celebrating 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.
I work in a Title I school teaching Functional Life Skills, Special Education students in grades 3 through 5. I have seven students that have various disabilities ranging from Autism to Cerebral Palsy; verbal to nonverbal abilities.
Due to their various disabilities, our students have a disadvantage when it comes to daily living skills. It is harder for them to understand and learn the concepts of numbers, counting, money identification and using money in the community. The students require several different types of learning methods in order to master their skills in math and money. By utilizing different methods of learning numbers and money for the various learning disabilities, the students have a better chance of becoming successful in learning these skills.
Currently, I have limited resources for teaching concepts of money top my students. They are learning Touch Math and we have borrowed the Touch Math supplies from another teacher. If we could build on the success of the Touch Math and acquire Touch Money, I feel the students have a better chance of learning and retaining their skills. Some of the other students are just learning number concepts, and using different puzzles, and shapes can assist them in learning their number faster. I have an older puzzle with numbers, but it is missing one number. By being able to receive the various software, worksheets, calculators and puzzles, my students will have access to various methods and strategies to learn their math and money concepts that will allow them to function in the community setting when purchasing items.
By being able to receive the gifts from the donors of the various software, worksheets, calculators and puzzles, my students will have access to various methods and strategies to learn their math and money concepts that will allow them to function in the community setting when purchasing items. The students will have learned and mastered a functional living skill used by their non-disabled peers when they need to buy something.
