My Project

My students are newly arrived ELLs that have been through a very difficult journey to get here. They realize how hard it was/is for them to make new friends, etc and want to pay it forward now!

They want to reach out to other students in their school community and at their shelters that are having a hard time both mentally and physically dealing with their current situation (what ever that may be).

They want to be the shoulder to lean on to others in their community that need it the way others were to them when they did. The plan is to be a "buddy" to some of the other kids they know from the playground, around school, from school clubs and their home shelter and show them ways they can make them feel loved and cared for.

The students will do this in a few ways. They have a plan to design & use our office as a safe space to come and spend some time with the other school community members they're helping by taking a "mental break" for a moment with friends. The aerograden will help with the general calming ambiance of the room and create a natural environment by bringing plants indoors (they also have requested calming music to play). The inspirational posters & snacks are to ensure they're in a positive environment during their time together. They'd like to use the sticker makers & blank greeting cards to allow them to create inspirational notes for their buddies in the school community and at their shelter to show them they are loved!

I believe this project and its needed supplies will be of great value to my students and their well-being.
