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 teach in a special education, moderate to severe, community-based instruction program for high school students. We are a Title I school, serving a diverse population. The students I work with are determined and strive to persevere through social, emotional, and academic challenges.

Working together, helping the students strive toward independence, we are part of the high school student body.

Students work with peers on the yearbook staff, attend school activities, and volunteer daily in the community. They excel with movement and hands-on experiences. I am blessed to be their teacher, encouraging students beyond their greatest expectations.

My Project

The last year has been filled with chaos, uncertainty and heartache. Students have missed out on the social groove of high school. Their social-emotional state has been impacted. As I prepare to return to campus this fall, I would like to provided a time-tested, teachable tool to lower anxiety and nervousness so that my students can adapt successfully to today’s new ways of learning.

In order to meet this need, I would love to bless my students with yoga mats.

Additionally, I will complete teacher training through SCHOOL Kids Yoga. SCHOOL Kids Yoga is a trauma-informed approach that has proved to be effective at countering trauma experienced by youth and can therefore be applied to meet this historic moment. Thank you for helping to meet the social-emotional needs of my students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
