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 a caring, insightful group of 23 students who are dedicated and super excited to be back in-person learning in their classroom. Of my twenty-three students, thirteen are English Learners, ranging from Newcomer English Learners to students who are now considered Long Term English Learners, having been in the EL program for five years or over. Three of my students receive RSP Resource Specialist Services support for English Language Developing and math skills, and two students are attending IDEC, Intensive Diagnostic Education Center. My students are predominantly of Latino background.
My Project
The items I am requesting will help reward my students to boost their emotional well-being during these stressful times as we are back in-person in the classroom. These items listed will ensure kids will practice positive ways of de-stressing as well as being active while using the softball equipment to engage in fun indoor and outdoor cooperative games. These fun gadgets will allow my students to focus on lessons and carry on tasks as they are exerting nervous energy in a quiet and discreet manner whenever they might need it by using these fidget toys. The gift cards will be awarded as prizes to students as they tackle tasks, remain determined to complete tasks, and persevere in achieving goals. My students will love getting these fun prizes to encourage positive behavior and growth mindset skills!
