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 Students
I am a school counselor in a small town named Refugio, which is near the gulf coast in Texas. Hurricane Harvey rocked our world about 4 years ago in August of 2017 and we are still recovering. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided additional challenges.
Even though we are faced with many challenges, the show must go on!
Our job as educators is to make sure that our students continue to grow and learn every day in the classroom despite outside circumstances.
My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging activities that allow them to explore and learn new things. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take chances in order to grow both personally and academically.
My Project
The materials that I have chosen for my students are vital to their success. During counseling sessions, I work individually and with groups of students to help them in their specific areas of need. Many of my students have difficulties with impulse control, managing their anger, and expressing their emotions.
Since I am a first-year school counselor, the number of resources that I have acquired is small.
I am basically starting from scratch. The resources that I am requesting include counseling games, such as "Emotional Rollercoaster", "Mad Dragon", "Superhero Strengths", "NoWaries S.T.O.R.M.", "Impulsive Eddie" and a social skills/mindfulness game. I am also requesting fidget toys and calming tools, such as a zigzag motion bubbler, a timed bubbler, mini glitter stress balls, spiky stress relief toys, pop fidget sensory toys, and pop tubes sensory toys. Lastly, I am requesting a printer, keyboard, and speakers so that I can create materials for my students and play soothing music for them.
I want to have the latest and greatest resources for my students because I want them to SUCCEED. With your help, I can make this happen.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
