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 Project

All of my students work on an adaptive curriculum to meet their needs as students with moderate intellectual disabilities. I work at a title one school and we are working with limited budgets for extra resources. A big part of a lot of my students goals is practicing career skills like working in retail or groceries. These supplies would allow me to set up a career tech training area in my classroom to simulate the experience of working at a cash register. Students would be able to practice their money skills and social skills in role play scenarios of interacting with customers.
