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.
If you were to step inside my classroom, you would see a student-centered classroom with groups collaborating, students diligently practicing their interpersonal communication skills through role-plays, and students researching and practicing their media literacy and advocacy skills to address a health need in our community. There is a lot of laughter. It's a little messy and sometimes louder and more chaotic than your traditional "sage on the stage" classroom. That is how we learn.
My students are humble, grateful, and have a thirst for knowledge and skills!
They are excited to try new things with the resources we have. Many of my students have endured adversity in their short life but still come to school with smiles on their faces. Resilient is a great word to describe many of my students.
My Project
In health class, we practice the skills of self-management such as stress management strategies and first aid. Throughout the semester, students practice identifying health behaviors that they can maintain or improve upon, self-monitor themselves, reflect, and use these skills and techniques in different situations that transfer into their everyday lives.
This project will support a class set of yoga mats that will facilitate our practice of self-management techniques throughout the year.
The first 10 minutes of class, we start off with stress-management techniques such as breathing, mindful movements (including yoga), mindful eating and mindful journaling. The class set of yoga mats are versatile and will be used inside the classroom and outside in nature.
Donate to support the social and emotional learning of our future generation. Imagine a world of adults that have the confidence to demonstrate positive mental and emotional coping skills!
