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 Project

"Be Kind, For Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Battle You Know Nothing About." - Ian Maclaren

"Kindness begins with understanding." - Charles deLint

Kindness Week is dedicated to fostering empathy, sympathy, and consideration for others. Kindness Week was the week before last (February 9-15) but because of the numerous snow days, we were out of school for most of the actual week! However, being my kids' "school mom", I find it crucial to teach them to be humble and mindful of how they treat others. So, we are going to show kindness through community service!

To create crafts celebrating kindness, we need to gather cardstock, rocks, construction paper, acrylic markers, printer ink, clothespins, and a ring light. Our school houses grades K-5; we would like to complete special projects for the different grade bands:

For K-2, the kids would like to paint uplifting and colorful rocks that are decorative but also send messages of love and support.

For 3-5, the kids would like to make mixed-media posters, cards, and signs that persuade them to be aware of others and act as guides for the younger kids.

For the school in its entirety, the kids would like to make motivational videos and shorts that discuss ways in which to be respectful, loving, and empathetic towards others. We have a kid-run news show, "The Rising Star", that is broadcast daily and the kids would like to produce shorts and videos that they can submit to the show and the whole school can watch!

Unfortunately, because we have new administration, not-so-great test scores, and a crackdown on the amount of field experiences we can take, it has been difficult to do community service OUTSIDE of the building. However, we believe this is an awesome way in which to still serve others!
