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 work in Title I school, and I have 21 bilingual Pre-K students that love to come to school every day. Most of my students are low income and they receive free or reduce school lunch. They have suffered the Harvey devastation and some of them are still recovering from all of their losses.

My students are curious and self-motivated and always ready to learn.

My students need more hands on math experiences to become familiar with financial literacy, and to have a clear understanding of how spending and saving works in real life.

My Project

I am asking for a Pretend Diner so my students can experience going to a restaurant, order, and most importantly pay for their food. I am also requesting a cash register so they can use it in the diner and learn to give change by counting the amounts they are spending and receiving. In addition to this market shop center, I also have asked for a math apple market where the student will learn to count and they can also sort the apples in different categories based on different things. I am very assured that this will help my student with a great experience and they will get a good foundation for the upcoming years.
