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.
I have always been a firm believer of the quote, "It takes a village to raise a child." Being a classroom teacher, I am constantly trying to provide my learners with the most beneficial, equitable education experience as I set the groundwork of their future. These multicultural learners are relying on the aid of a school community to guide them to achieve their full potential and I have been blessed to have the privilege to be their conductor for this ride.
I have been so fortunate to be a second grade ENL (English as a New Language) teacher of students who consistently rise to the challenge.
My students come from various nations ranging from Albania, Vietnam, Mexico, Dominican Republic and more. These students began second grade with very little understanding of the English language and grade level academics. In addition to the language barrier, I have several students with IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) to support academics and several with ADHD who even with focusing challenges, break all barriers due to their drive to learn. Currently, these little go-getters are working hard to achieve all goals they set their mind to, I know that the sky is the limit.
My Project
In such a busy fast paced world, our little learners are walking around and coming to school with lots of baggage. From not eating breakfast, living in shelters, parents working late hours, no one home to help with homework, no one home to speak English with, to divided households- this list goes on and on - Little People with Big Problems. Due to these children being young, they have not had the opportunity to acquire coping mechanisms to help them verbalize how they feel.
With the responsibility of meeting grade level expectations and balancing all the outside stresses children need to learn how to identify, cope and rise through the challenges.
With this project, I am hoping to incorporate tools such as books, an electronic therapy pet, and games to help my students learn to identify how they are feeling and develop a sense of comfort and resilience to help them learn how to cope with negative feelings.
