Hope Is Near

Help me give my students supplies such as canvas boards, paint and glue, to destress while doing different "reflective" activities. Students enjoy painting and arts and crafts during this stressful time.

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

My students come from low-income families and are first-generation students who plan on attending college. It is an urban school district which does not receive the significant funding that we need for all of the programs that are an absolute necessity to our students. They are wonderful students. Many of my students are in special education and require extra supports. As a school counselor, I work with them and teach them strategies to help develop personal and social/emotional goals for them, as well as career goals. I try to differentiate in my group work and have worked remotely with them conducting weekly counselor check-ins and self-help activities. Students will be taught strategies to work remotely during Covid 19 and have a safe space to continue their self-growth. Many of these emotional and social issues take over their lives during their high school careers and impact their success and many are struggling with remote learning. By teaching them the skills necessary, they can overcome the barriers they are faced​ with in order to be successful! In addition, we are preparing for senior year and students will have access to upload college applications/materials.

My Project

I would like to provide various arts and crafts materials so my students can destress during this difficult transitional period. Students can create and design masterpieces and look ahead to a hopeful, pandemic-free future. They need to have a variety of materials to experiment and create with and make choices artistically. Technology has taken over their world and they look to the art materials to express themselves and destress. They have spent the past year on the computer trying to keep up with schoolwork and have been overwhelmed.

Lunch periods are spent doing creative activities to destress.

My students enjoy painting and talking about their feelings and emotions during this time.
