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 Project

At MV school, we have a concrete "yard" in the center of our buildings with woodchips and a large playground, with two fields that are busy with aspiring young soccer players every morning and afternoon. Oftentimes, my special needs students with autism are found not playing during their recess, but sitting and watching the other kids, wanting to have friends, but not knowing how.

When I noticed this, I brought out bubbles and chalk for my students.

To my surprise, kids from all classes came to play, bonded with my students, and made friends that remain to this day!

We do bubble Thursdays now, and some of the gen-ed kids will come to join. But with limited supplies, we often have to limit the fun. I plan to bring this equipment out every day and allow more kids to join in, and get to know someone new. The grass rug is to give kids a green place to play where soccer balls are out of the way.

Having a common purpose, and a safe, fun way to play can bond kids in ways that words just can't. Consider helping us make new friendships that otherwise would've never been! Thank you!
