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 Students

I am currently a teacher working on implementing Social Emotional Wellness tools in my classroom. I am implementing mindful movement through yoga breathwork, and meditation. My classroom is special, because every student that walks in gets to feel loved and supported.

Students get to have a safe space to feel and process their emotions.

I am a teacher teaching science and career and technical education, most importantly I'm sometimes the only person that may support them in their day emotionally. I am so excited about supporting students emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Through the years the way I have evolved in interacting with my students has changed. COVID has really left a need for teachers to be aware of where students come from and how their interactions from other places affect the way they interact with us at school.

This year my students are taking a journey into the world of science, as well as being supported in their social emotional learning and wellness as they continue to expand their minds and hearts. In the place I teach often times students come from broken homes, and I get to be the person that listens and supports our future. Our students.

My Project

This professional development will help me grow by continuing to first care for myself, that way I can care for my students, and fellow colleagues. Yoga, mindful movement, breathing work and meditation have amazing returns on investment, for students' mental clarity, attitudes, growth and mindset. All students and teachers will benefit from this because it will be a practice that is continued to be used daily. Some learning outcomes would include. reducing stress or anxiety, reducing conflict, and improving concentration. My objectives would be to Enable students to have good health, practice mental hygiene and possess emotional stability. I imagine students will be able to participate at all levels and will learn tools they can use in any space, time or season of life.
