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.
I am a school social worker at an elementary school in Hartford, CT. My students are in grades PK-5 and come from diverse backgrounds. Many of my students have experienced poverty, homelessness, hunger, violence and other traumas. Despite their personal challenges my students are resilient and eager to learn. The district I work in ensures that we promote a safe and inclusive environment as we work alongside the families of each student to ensure the academic and social-emotional success of each child.
My Project
Recess is one of the most important parts of the school day. Not only does it give students the opportunity to be physically active but it also gives them the opportunity to interact with their peers and build friendships. Unfortunately, my students do not have access to a playground or recess equipment so recess is not as enjoyable for them. My school only has a blacktop and grass for my students to play on at recess. Whatever toys my students have to play with at recess are toys that they bring from home.
The lack of recess equipment causes my students to engage in negative and unsafe behaviors because they are bored and don't know what else to do.
By having access to toys and sports equipment my students will be able to increase their physical activity and improve their social skills. With your help, my students will be able to enjoy recess again!
