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.
Our school originally opened its doors in 1875 as the school for African American students in our city. Now it is the oldest public school in our city, but we are working to prepare our students for the future. Our school has a 95% free/reduced lunch rate, so we constantly work to provide opportunities for our students that they may not have at home. Our emphasis is on academics as well as character development. We strive to develop intelligent, responsible, and self-disciplined members of society.
My Project
Every week my students love their Station Time when they come to the library. They work in small groups building, tinkering, and learning through hands-on activities. I want to add an Origami Station. Since our school is 95% free/reduced lunch most of our students have never tried origami. I have noticed that my students' fine motor skills are very poor, but origami provides a fun way to practice. Additionally, many of my students need to practice perseverance.
My goal is that simple paper folding will help build valuable skills for the future.
I know that origami will pose a challenge for some of them. They will have to practice multiple times to complete some of these projects which will help grow their perseverance. I selected origami kits with varying degrees of difficulty so they can experience success and continue working towards a challenge.
