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

Were you ever bullied? How scary was it? Were you able to stand up for your rights or were you terrified? My students are facing these issues at school. I would like my students to learn how to stand up to bullies.

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 stand up to a bully when it comes across. My students' confidence will be strengthened 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.
