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 Students

Our students are bright-eyed middle schoolers who are striving to affect change in their communities and overall society. They are in the throws of daily classes, forming and rediscovering relationships with peers, and understanding how to balance education and life once again.

Our school is situated in a high-need area of San Francisco that serves many communities of color and ELL (English Language Learners) students.

In addition, nearly 100% of our student body receives free or reduced-price lunch. Every day our students strive to succeed in the new normal that all of us are grappling with this year. To best support our students during the academic day and their personal lives we are supporting their learning of social-emotional skills to help them challenge systems of inequity.

My Project

It has been 17 to 18 months of disabled cameras and muted mics since our students were in the physical school setting. Throughout the school day our students are now being asked to remain engaged with academics and each other after more than a year of being separated. This stark contrast of distance learning versus in-person has brought about wondrous moments, but also has acted as a stressor for others. With our students' growing mental health needs we are hoping to increase our supply of social-emotional tools/spaces, stress reduction tools, coping activities, and other means to aid our students return. Now more than ever, many students are struggling with feelings of anxiety, stress, grief, frustration, exhaustion, and much more. In response, our staff is seeking multiple access points to offer different styles of emotional regulation to our students.

The materials requested will bolster our students' ability to process, regulate, and understand the difficult emotions that arise from educational and personal situations.

Our plan for the kinetic sand, color pencils, stress balls, and sequin pillows will be divided into kits for teachers and counselors to place in classrooms and counseling offices. The kits will allow students to access tools to aid in emotional regulation and to minimize students missing academic instruction. Folders are destined for advisory rooms so that students can easily compile their work. Ultimately, we hope to create responsive systems of support that work to meet our students' immediate and long-term needs.
