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

We are a Title I school in a low socioeconomic neighborhood, and 100% of students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many parents work two jobs and are barely able to support the family.

I have a bunch of awesome students who can't wait to come to school every day!

All my students are English language learners with no resources available at home. They often come to school without the supplies needed to be successful. Our school is a safe place for many of my students, where learning is a priority.

My Project

Due to the surging cases of COVID-19, our school reminds closed. Students really missed their friends and learning remotely at home has taken a toll on them socially and emotionally. They are stressed and tired of Zoom. Many do not like school anymore. I would like to give them something fun to do to keep them motivated. Each Friday is "Fun Friday" for my students. Students can draw their feelings and emotions using the sketch pads and coloring it with twistable crayons and colored pencils. The stress balls, fidgets spinners, and the handheld grip will allow students to relieve their stress during the day. We all express our stress and anxiety in different ways. Students can express them through art.
