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

My students are all Kindergartners with Autism. All my students were in a pre-kindergarten setting last year and there they began to learn to play. They still need to learn better play skills.

Children with Autism have difficulty learning how to play with their friends.

Social leisure is an important part of our school day. It gives our students time to learn how to socialize in a structured setting. They are taught how to socialize with their peers. They need to understand the appropriate way to initiate, socialize, and play.

The biggest problem we have is that we do not have a proper social leisure area. We need a dramatic play area with kitchen toys including food and a table to play at.
