NUTRITION
Description –
This Unit is being prepared for a kindergarten class at the Michael Driscoll School in Brookline, MA. The class is made up of 19 students; 12 boys and 7 girls. Though their age range is not that broad (all of the students are between 5.7 and 6.6 years old), there is still a great deal of diversity in the class. While some students come from affluent and established families, others come from families who do not have the same level of financial resources. Also, while some families have been in Brookline for a long time, others have only recently come to the area (if not the country). Three students are from Russia, one is from Guatemala (one of a pair of adopted twins), and one other is from China. As a result, many students are often taken out of the classroom for extended periods to work on their language skills. One student has Downs Syndrome and is on an Individual Education Plan (IEP), as is another student who suffers from speech and language difficulties.
