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

I am the Mental Health Counselor at a Title I school located in East Palo Alto, CA. One of our goals as a school is to serve the WHOLE CHILD. This means in addition to providing a comprehensive academic education, we also prioritize students' social and emotional learning and well being. I work to promote students’ self-awareness and self-regulation, as well as social awareness and social skills.

For many of our students, school is one of the only places accessible to them in terms of emotional and mental health resources and supports.

Ninety-one percent of our students participate in the Free and Reduced-Price Meal program. Ninety percent of our students speak English as a second language. Ninety-eight percent of our students will be first-generation college students. Ninety percent of our students are Latino; 6.5% are African-American; 2% are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Our students are scholars striving to becoming the best versions of themselves and deserve all the resources and supports that are readily available to students in higher income communities.

My Project

I am asking for books are examples of social and emotional learning and growth. I will use these books in a variety of ways including as part whole classroom lessons, small counseling groups, and individual counseling services.

These books will help my students learn about their own emotions, thoughts, and values and well as the emotions thoughts, and values of others.

In addition to reading these books aloud, and having students read them to themselves and each other, I will pair activities with these books in order to give my students multiple ways to access the information and develop the skills shown in the stories.
