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.
Our classroom is a family that consists of thirty-eight eager-to-learn kindergarten students in a Title I school in Houston, Texas where all of the students receive free lunch.
The majority of my students come from single-parent households where they struggle to make ends meet, but despite their difficulties, they always come into our classroom with smiles, eager to learn.
I want to provide my students with unique learning experiences in and out of our classroom that they can carry through life.
Many of my students and their families were affected by hurricane Harvey and I am trying to make them feel welcomed and secure in my classroom. I also want them to feel like their world is going back to normal after such a tragic event.
My Project
My students are soon going to begin learning about financial literacy. Therefore I plan to implement both a grocery store and a lemonade stand in order for them to connect their learning to real-world experiences. The wooden grocery store and lenonade stand is going to allow my students play pretend to be the cashier at a grocery stand and another student will be the customer that buys the pretend play food at the grocery and use the play coins to pay the cashier. Then I plan to turn the grocery store into a real lemonade stand where the students will sell lemonade at school to other students. The pretend lemons are going to be used as a visual on the lemonade stand.
