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 am a teacher at an inner-city school region with a large, diverse population of students with special needs from low-income families. The students at our school are eager learners looking to find a safe and secure place to learn. Many of our students are from immigrant families from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and other South American countries that are faced with many challenges. Our school provides a home for a diverse and cultural community. Many of our students participate in the Head Start Program.

Our school looks to promote diversity and inclusion in a Title I school in which our students come from diverse backgrounds such as very low-income families, at many times below the poverty line.

Ninety percent of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Our school is located in the heart of one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods where many parents do not speak English. Within my classroom, I also have several students that are English Language Learners as well as special needs students with a variety of challenges such as ADHD and learning disabilities. These conditions can make it difficult for students to learn and they can benefit from any aid or assistance.

My Project

The goal of this project is to create an environment that facilitates and promotes the emotional health and mental state of my students in a safe and welcoming learning environment. Learning during these times includes more than academics but also allowing students to engage and interact in social-emotional learning opportunities. This possible by allowing them a variety of writing and creative opportunities to express themselves during these trying times. Students will be asked to share their feelings through prompts and essential questioning that promotes their expression of thoughts, ideas, and emotions.

Through the use of response journals along with effective distance learning instruction, students will begin to understand how to monitor, assess and express their emotions while sharing them in a positive and supportive environment.

The iPad pencil allows the opportunity for me to model sample responses that demonstrate the use of appropriate social-emotional vocabulary through our interactive Zoom platform. The use of basic supplies such as pens, cricut mats, and cleaning supplies help to maintain a clean and productive environment that allows for the sharing of ideas in creative and new formats. During these times, it is essential that our students maintain a positive and supportive environment in which they are welcomed to shares their idea while also providing them with a quality educational experience.
