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
My students are reflections of the communities from which they live. They span the social/economical and racial/ethnicity spectrum as well as 9th grade to 5th and 6th year seniors . They are students who despite homelessness, absentee fathers, dysfunctional family dynamics, parental obligations, depression, suicide ideations, suicide attempts, severe anxiety, bullying, self medicating, and severe credit deficiencies they wake up every morning with the goal of becoming a high school graduate.
For some they will be the impetus behind a generational shift in their family as the first to graduate, or the first to attend college or a vocational/trade program or school.
Each are unique in their own respective because they decided to change the course of their lives by not giving up and learning to adapt and overcome the obstacles in their individual paths.
My Project
As a special service coordinator, I see many of my students struggle to find the balance between being attentive and the need to fidget. These fidgets will give my students an approved distraction when one is needed. My students will be able to choose which fidget device will allow them to release extra energy without changing the learning environment. The fidgets will allow students to remain academically engaged while meeting their need to move. The fidget devices will also support peer to peer communication because they will be available to all students in my classroom. Distractions are not a bad thing especially when they are approved by the teacher.
More than half of students from low‑income households
