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 am a TK-2 special education teacher with 11 students with intellectual disabilities who participate in the moderate/severe alternative curriculum. My class is the sole special education program at our school dedicated to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities on the alternative curriculum. My students are extremely active, and their attention spans last no longer than ten to fifteen minutes per activity. My students have many needs from basic daily life-skills (e.g. diapering) to exposure to age appropriate standards based curriculum.

My school is a Title I school that serves students who come from low-income families and all qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program.

My students need to be highly motivated by a variety of resources to capture their attention and develop their individual strengths. My students are eager learners and come to school excited for the day. They are amazing little human beings who will become important contributors to society with the appropriate support and resources.

My Project

My goal is to use the Melissa & Doug Freestanding Wooden Fresh Mart Grocery Store and Step2 Fun with Friends Kitchen Playset to learn financial literacy through play. I will set up an inviting area where my students can pretend to produce products, sell, buy, and manage their business.

My students will be learning critical everyday skills through play.

These materials will make a difference in my classroom because it will provide my students with opportunities to explore and learn through play. The Melissa & Doug Freestanding Wooden Fresh Mart Grocery Store and Step2 Fun with Friends Kitchen Playset will help my students have a realistic repesentation of places around their community. My students will be able to make real life connections in their learning.
