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 happy to serve the community of North Houston. Most of my students come to school for the first time and are thrilled to explore and have hands-on learning experiences. Being away from home is difficult for most students but compounded with the pandemic, it can be a traumatic experience, none the less they come to school each day, full of energy, curiosity, excited to be here, and ready to learn and play! Our school is a safe place for them to feel loved and cared for.

100% of our children come from low-income households and receive free breakfast and lunch.

My Project

Many children have been at the grocery store with their parents at one time or another; however, how many of them have had the opportunity to pick and bag their favorite fruits or vegetables? How many have been given the opportunity to handle money?

The grocery items, money, and cash register will not only give the children an opportunity to go shopping for their favorite foods but learn many math concepts such as the concept of numbers, money, and financial literacy in a fun engaging developmentally appropriate manner.

They will learn how to become responsible business owners and consumers as they think critically when selecting their purchase, they will learn how to collaborate, communicate, and negotiate with their peers as they decide who will play the different roles required to run a grocery store and who will be the customer.
