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 are curious and enthusiastic learners. They are natural scientists who love conducting hands-on experiments. They attend a Title I school and live in one of the roughest neighborhoods in our city. Despite these challenges, my students are eager to learn when provided with the opportunity and resources. Our school offers a safe space for them to grow and flourish. We have an exceptionally strong social support system, with counselors working with small groups of students on an ongoing basis from grades six to twelve. This is to ensure they graduate from high school and enroll in college.
My goal is to create an exciting, positive, learning environment for my students to explore the world around them.
Most of my students come from homes where academic enrichment opportunities outside of school are limited. They truly appreciate any of the extras we can bring into the classroom.
My Project
I would like to share these gift cards to local restaurants with my students as Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports rewards for students who are logging in each day, asking questions, participating in discussions, and submitting work. Distance learning has been frustrating for students, parents and teachers because many feel disconnected.
It is difficult to recreate our sense of classroom community solely through video conferencing and Google Classroom.
Teachers, counselors, and administrators spend many hours doing outreach for those who need extra support. The kids who are making the effort and shining quietly are often overlooked. These gift cards to Boston Market, Wendy's, Burger King, Smashburger, and Papa John's Pizza will be used as rewards for outstanding effort and achievement. Warm restaurant meals to go will be a welcome treat for my students and their families. These gift cards can easily be distributed to students who are coming into our school building, and mailed to those who have opted for remote learning. It will reinforce positive behaviors and reassure hardworking students that their efforts are noticed and appreciated.
