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 Project
As a health teacher, I strongly believe that social and emotional health are equally important to physical health. As a result, I have taken the time to compile a list of items that will help me create a safe and nurturing environment for my students.
The combination of severe cuts to our funding and the shortage of adequate classroom supplies has forced many educators to abandon efforts to design comforting rooms that our children will consider safe spaces.
Research on the relationship between stress and learning has indicated that high-stress environments can seriously interfere with a student's critical thinking, memory storage/retrieval, and overall learning process. Many of our students have experienced significant trauma, stress, and loss throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. As classrooms that are cramped, disorderly, and run-down can discourage the learning process, I'd like to provide a space that is clean, fresh, bright, and calming. Our students deserve a place that will allow them to relax and focus, as many of them view school as a sanctuary away from their harsh realities.
I am requesting funding for:
1. Various lighting pieces to serve as an alternatives to harsh florescent bulbs
2. Furniture that is both functional and comfortable, which will allow me to avoid cluttered spaces and replace desks
3. Self-care and hygiene products such as body wipes, feminine hygiene resources, and deodorant for students that may need to refresh in an emergency
Nearly all students from low‑income households
