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 awesome second graders come from a very low socioeconomic background with some falling below the poverty line. They are mainly English language learners (80%), and many of them live in homes which house multiple families under the same roof.

On average, 2 or 3 students in my classroom are considered homeless and struggle to find suitable housing.

They qualify for assistance through The McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Some of my students are latchkey children. Some of these seven- and eight-year-olds have the sole responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are working. Many of their parents have more than one job.

Our school is Title I, and 80% of the children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. My children have extremely limited access to technology in their homes, yet, with all these obstacles, my students come to school with much enthusiasm and an eager desire to learn. As a teacher, I am very passionate about bringing STEAM to my classroom on a weekly basis. I feel that STEM provides students with the 4 C's: collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication.

My Project

In the fall, I will be implementing You Rock! Block System. It is a classroom behavior management system that allows students to collect puzzle tokens to build and assemble into blocks. The block system encourages positive behaviors while helping students build character and community. It focuses on creativity, responsibility, leadership, respect, friendship (kindness) and achievement.

I am very excited about introducing this positive hands-on behavior system to my classroom.

To celebrate each assembled block, I am asking for classroom prizes as rewards. Some of these prizes are eraser toys, squishy stress animals, puzzle magic cubes, play-dough and other fun-filled prizes.

I am also asking for the book One Drop of Kindness by Jeff Kubiak. It tells the story of transformation, kindness and the power each and every child and person has to change the culture and those around them. Resonate kindness and others around you will as well.

Will you help me by bringing this special project to life?
