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.
My Students
I teach in a Title I school in Miami Beach. My students are imaginative and inquisitive kids. Most of them come from underprivileged households, mostly non-English speakers. They are passionate about school, they have a great attitude towards learning. We are in the midst of the most sweeping education experiment in history. The pandemic has forced us to find ways to teach without what most important, the daily face-to-face interactions.
My Project
Every day we meditate in the classroom. We start the day with this activity, and I realized the kids look forward to it, as they want to come early into the meeting to participate. This activity (mind-calming exercises) is relaxing and enjoyable. We all considered this time to be a valuable use of class time.
I would like to offer my students with an environment conducive to relaxation.
The sound of the singing bowl is a relaxing sound that promotes deeper relaxation. Including elements as a Tibet Affirmation flags, chimes, and tapestry will create a serene and peaceful environment to focus on meditating.
Mindfulness Cards will use by the students to share and cultivate mindful moments, with inspiring phrases and exercises. Stress can affect classroom behavior and learning how to calm down is something the kids look forward to.
Meditation equips students with breathing strategies to refocus mindsets for learning and it cultivates a community of compassion and respect.
Half of students from low‑income households
