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 are as diverse as New York City in race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and ability. Our school demographics are sixty-two percent Hispanic, twenty-eight percent black, five percent Asian and three percent white, with over 85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunches. My students come to school every day from all five boroughs with various needs, persevering against all the challenges life has thrown at them.
I have students who come to school with so little and students coming to school without breakfast and without backpacks.
Some cannot live at home with their parents and some do not even have a place to call home. Our students deal with many challenges including mental health issues, gun violence, and pregnancies. I want to be able to use my time with my students to provide them all with the educational opportunities they deserve.
My Project
School is a place of learning for students, but that learning does not always have to be academic in nature. Students, especially teenagers, are developing their own sense of self and identity, as well as learning social-emotional skills. However, engaging students teaching those skills can sometimes be challenging.
We want to use the cooperative role playing game Dungeons and Dragons to help break down barriers and make learning fun.
This project will allow us to gather enough materials for our students to get started with creating characters and engaging in play. By creating their own characters, students will be able to develop ideas and backgrounds that mean something to them, and have them engage one another. Not only will they be able to use these characters as a way to communicate with one another, they will also have work together to overcome challenges as an adventuring party. Students will need to use skills of cooperation, listening and problem solving as they try to battle the odds and monsters together. Through creative play and communication, students will be learning real life skills.
