WhyTry Hands-On Learning Activities for Our School

My Students

The elementary school I work at is in its third year. It is brand new and has a high level of excitement from the students, parents, and teachers and staff. However, the school has a diverse group of students, some from affluent family backgrounds and some from low-socioeconomic homes.

My Florida elementary school has an array of students.

Around 45% of the students are minorities and 40% of the students receive free and reduced lunch. The students have plethora of experiences and backgrounds. While this is a wonderful thing, it is also difficult in that the behavior of the students can be drastically different. Some students have the tools to learn and act in class, while other students do not. Moreover, 12% of the student population exhibits challenging behavior on a regular basis.

My Project

Not all of the students will use the WhyTry Curriculum. Out of the 735 students at the elementary school, I would expect around 88 students in grades K-5 to use it per year. The students will complete a series of hands-on behavior intervention activities that will help establish a social and emotional foundation for each student. They will learn about decision making, consequences, peer pressure, and social skills.

This project will help the elementary students who have challenging behaviors.

By working on the behavior aspects of their school experience, these students will improve academically and socially. Ultimately, the students will end up being happier and more productive.
