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

We're a Title I school in a rural community, so Covid has significantly negatively impacted our students due to a lack of local resources. In addition, our low-income families typically don't have access to the internet or the ability to travel out of the area to access resources outside of our community. As a result, our students' mental health and social skills have greatly suffered and the school is often the students' only outlet for Social-Emotional support, and thus, could benefit from this program.

My Project

The materials will make a huge difference in the lives of our Pre-K - 12th grade students at our rural school.

The different lesson plans will provide the tools I need to assist our youth in addressing a lot of different social-emotional challenges they are facing in their lives.

Anything from grief, to impulsivity, to bullying and learning better social skills to build self-esteem and develop friendships, among many others. These are all areas I will work on with students individually, in small groups, and whole classes to ensure their needs are being met at the ground level and they are able to focus on achieving their academic goals. I will also provide the parents with tools and skills they can use at home to ensure the students are receiving wraparound support in their areas of need. The fidget toys help students when they come in to discuss difficult topics.
