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

Every year, the kiddos engage in helping our community through projects that help them see the world through other people’s eyes. It is our goal to learn how to be compassionate to others who are less fortunate than them. Every year, we measure the impact of engaging in this type of project by seeing how many of our students use these ideas to do their own projects for different clubs around our school.

My 5th grade kiddos would love to give back to people within our school community who are less fortunate by providing food, supplies, stress, and first aid items, and snacks through a student-created center.

After learning about compassion and being able to see through the eyes of others by engaging in a series of activities, lessons, and discussions, the students create an appealing (using the shelves and lights) in-class help center. They'd be in charge of storing, organizing and labeling (using the label maker) the center and advertising items that will be available to all students in the school community who would be in need of a snack, school supplies, first aid, and even mental health items (stress balls and pop-it balls).

The kiddos would make it their mission to have compassion for those in need as they fight food insecurities and/or are lacking the items they need to succeed in school by inviting them to our center. Creating this center will help our kiddos fulfill the needs of others.

This experience will teach my students how important it is to give to others in need. This project will encourage them to think about others and have empathy and exhibit compassion for those less fortunate, and enable them to see through the eyes of all schoolmates in order to alleviate their suffering and help them.
