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.
Our studenrs are talented, intelligent, curious, creative, witty and clever but they have been diagnosed with autism, oppositional defiance disorder, ADHD, and ADD. While, some are motivated to thrive and succeed, others need someone to lift their self-confidence so that they can start to dream of success. I teach in a classroom where you hear "I can't" more than "I can". Our school serves children who come from low socioeconomic households where many parents have not completed high school. In our school, 99% of our students receive free lunch and some are in shelters.
The labels they carry can sometimes become their identity and hinders their ability to dream big.
So, I dare them to dream of a world filled with infinite possibilities by creating projects that require multiple intelligences. It is through these projects that I can see a smile of confidence because they have uncovered talents they never knew existed and those smiles of wonder are my aim. It is as if they were awakened and the labels are beginning to peel off their drooping faces so that the talent that was once hidden has now been revealed!
My Project
Creating a learning environment with LED curtain lights, benches, stools and a hanging chair, integrated with air that is crisp as well as refreshing uisng the scentsy warmer and oil diffuser focuses on welcoming students with warmth and love which meets the learner's socio-emotional needs. As a result, we will be able to create a bridge towards academic learning. This type of learning environment gives my students freedom to choose a space that helps them to maximize on their ability to focus and collaborate in a learning environment that is calm, peaceful, and cozy. Research shows a child learning environment impacts their ability to achieve and to have the right mindset for learning to problem solve as well as take risks.
