Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

My students are the absolute best part of my day, and always bring such a silly and wonderful energy to my classroom. But with the issues such as hunger and economic troubles, mental health and stress problems, and lack of belief and self confidence that affects students in a Title One School, it can be difficult for students to see their high potential. Especially in my math classes, their poor belief in their abilities leads them to be very stressed over math problems and to automatically assume that they will not be able to learn. This makes it really difficult as a teacher to motivate my kids when they are struggling with so much behind the scenes.

Because of the unique situations of our students, incentives like snacks and candy or time to play with fidget toys really make their day and help them to relax their minds and learn.

I plan to use the fidget toys to help them focus and become less anxious while working, and the snacks and candy as incentives for when they reach a milestone, teach in front of the class, or tried their best. I want to use the organizers to have all supplies in reach for students at every group so that they have everything they need for an encouraging learning environment. Finally, my 12th grade students love to have hot drinks in the morning, especially those who are tired from going to work and school, and I would love to have an area where they can make coffee or tea as a reward for their hard work.

With your support, I can provide a variety of incentives that meet the needs of all my diverse children and help build up their motivation and confidence through these positive methods of encouragement!
