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 believe the most important message of my anti-bullying lesson is that in order to respect others and receive respect, you must first respect yourself. I believe the more self-confidence a person has, the less likely they are to bully, make fun of others or to become victims of bullying.
Our school is located in a low income neighborhood.
We provide 100% free lunches to all of our students. Our school mission is to prepare every single child for college. My mission, as the intervention teacher, is to help close the achievement gap. The students that I have the privilege to work with all have one thing in common, they are struggling with decoding skills and comprehension strategies. However, that does not stop them from enjoying a good book.
My Project
Bullying can cause lifelong damage to victims. Both bullies and those regularly victimized are more likely to become criminals. A school's failure to deal with bullying endangers the safety of all its pupils by allowing a hostile environment to interfere with learning. There is clear, unambiguous evidence that school action can dramatically reduce the incidence of bullying. I plan to introduce the book "Bullying in Schools" to my class to educate my students on how to stop bullying. I'm also planning to use the iPod touch to research more on the cause and effects of bullying. The students will do the research, type an essay and present it to class. The iPad mini will allow my students to create music videos against bullying with Garage Band. They will have Pages App to help them type their research paper on bullies. The materials I'm requesting, with your generosity, can help develop a positive learning environment. You can help make a huge difference in their daily way of living.
Successfully dealing with bullying involves building a genuine community within the class and school.
Everyone accepts they have the right to be free from harassment and that they have the responsibility to support their weaker and more vulnerable peers. I will use "Bullying in Schools" to create a safe environment. I need your help so I can provide books that will help my students to learn how to deal with bullies in and out of school. Your donations will be greatly appreciated.
