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.
My Students
My students are high school aged children that volunteer their time after school for various activities. They enjoy sports medicine and often times stay after school to help their fellow students with medical care. They also spend time in our school garden, assisting with the daily operations inside our school garden and botany lab. These students are hard working, kind and above all, selfless. They are constantly helping others and pushing each other to do more to serve our school community.
My Project
Our students are constantly stressed. Between the stress of their lives at home and their work at school, students are constantly complaining that they need more time to relax. This project is going to transform their classroom into a stress free environment where they can learn about mental health and medicine! In this project, the students selected the items that they think would make their classroom more relaxing. They chose to request salt lamps, a zen garden and the table top fountain to make their classroom a more calming place where they can learn. The students will be able to place the salt lamps in ideal locations to provide ambient lighting. Students will be able to create designs in the Zen garden daily based on their moods. In addition, the table top fountain will provide stress relief and background sounds for all learners.
The students also discussed that they enjoy relaxing by creating art and listening to music.
We've requested a portable speaker so they can listen to the sounds of nature or soothing music during class work time. Also, they requested adult coloring books to be used during brain breaks. These are the brief times during class when the students can stop what they are doing and take a minute to rest and refocus. Finally, the essential oils set and diffuser will be used to create a classroom environment that is inviting for all the students. The students will be able to pick the different scents that they would like to fill their class with! These students are medical students that understand the importance of stress relief and mental health. This project will enable them to learn first hand how to manage negative stress levels and will help them to create the optimal student centered learning environment!
