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.
In the busy hallways of my middle school, there is always opportunity to learn not just academically but socially. However, some of our middle school students struggle with learning social skills, social communication and socially expected behaviors because they have to be taught explicitly. Other students also struggle because their learning environment can be busy and overstimulating. Establishing routines and expectations is essential for successful learning for my students. It is also important to establish strong relationship with peers and school community. My students need specific tools to be successful, not just in middle school but in everyday life!
The best part of this journey is the opportunities in the inclusion environment where every student learns from the environment and peers.
My students will be successful in this new classroom because my students are resilient and can do whatever they put their minds to. My students enjoy daily routine and responsibilities as well as arts and craft activities, music, and learning!
My Project
Our school is forming a new Social Emotional Learning Group. These materials will help our students engage in new strategies and learn more about how to be emotionally in control of their bodies. Teachers and students relationships will better connect with one another throughout this process.
Social emotional learning will not only help students manage their emotions; student will be able to feel in control by using materials from their toolbox.
They will listen to their bodies and given the toolbox , the students will be in control of how they manage their anxieties, stress and behaviors.
