Celebrating 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 are amazing children who are eager to learn and we do not have enough resources to help them thrive in the way that they need and deserve. They come to school ready to get the best education they deserve with academic and emotional challenges. They are some of the most kind, inquisitive, creative and hard working students in The Holyoke Community. Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. I am so very thankful to be these student's teacher and I look forward to watching them grow in the learning environment that they deserve.
My Project
Every one of my students are unique and special in their own way. Most of my students come from low income families where resources are limited and some may have experienced trauma in their lives. Their first reactions when faced with challenges are fight or flight. If given the tools to help self regulate their bodies to learn my scholars will be able to succeed and excel. Noise cancelling headphones will help the students who are sensitive to loud sounds focus on their work better. Fidget seats and gadgets will help the students who have trouble sitting still, stay in their seats for longer periods of time. Please help to create a safe, nurturing environment where all of my students feel that they can succeed to the best of their ability with tools that will help them to excel.
