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
I remember how terrifying it was the first time I was bullied because I couldn't express myself my beginning years in the United States. My English Language Learners are also facing this problem outside the classroom. I would like to address and stop this devastating problem facing our students.
My students come from a mostly lower socioeconomic demographic, and many do not speak English at home.
Most of the students qualify for a free lunch, have limited resources at home, and stay at school until the early evening because of their hard working parents who are trying to make it. Our school does its best to inspire the kids and bring the curriculum to life. But the challenges of limited budgets and language barriers make that mission difficult.
My Project
The book "Bullying in Schools" will inform my students on this important topic. They will learn what bullying is, what it looks like, and what they need to do to be safe. It will provide my students the access to survive bullying behavior in school. The netbook will give my students the opportunity to publish their writing on bullying. When children write a plan on how to handle a bullying situation, it will make it easier for them to speak up to a bully when it comes across to them.
My students' confidence will strengthen using these resources because it will teach them how to handle bullies. It is important for children to learn about bullying and how to prevent it from happening. My students will be able to create and present their informational writing to their classmates and other classes as well.
All children need to feel safe. We must spread the word! Their published work will accomplish that throughout the school.
The netbook will inspire my students to become authors on the subject of bullying.
Students will write, publish, and share their message that there is NO place for bullying at our school.
