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
I work with students who have special needs and receive Special Education support at school. As third graders, they are becoming aware that some people don't seem to like them or want to play with them. They're picking up the insults other students say and bringing that cruelty into our classroom. The culture in our class is not one of compassion and cooperation, and we need to change that.
Learning about feelings such as compassion through the books and activities in the Little Spot of Emotions series and making friendship bracelets and caring cards will help my students learn how their words and actions impact others.
My goal is to reshape our classroom culture and then work on bringing the positive effects to the whole third grade. The books will help my students understand emotions better- their own and others'. Making and sharing friendship bracelets and cards with one another will help build a sense of responsibility to their learning community and, I hope, open the hearts of the students who don't realize how hurtful their words can be.
The children in my class and at my school come from low socio-economic families. Some are homeless, most receive support from the state, and many have other problems that can make getting to school and being able to learn extra challenging. But they are beautiful spirits! They have such hope and love in them, and I want to see that blossom and grow in them. The future of our world is our children. Please help me help them! Thank you for your compassion!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
