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 love coming to work every day because I love my students and I know that they have great potential to be whatever they want to be in life. I see children who are in crisis or labeled at risk. My students live with many personal and academic challenges. Many of my students receive special education services; they have learning disabilities and ADHD which makes schoolwork difficult. Although I assist them when they are in crisis, my most important job is teaching them strategies to deal with anger and emotions before it gets out of hand. I meet with small groups for peer mediation and life skills discussions. These intimate groups allow the children to open up and work through personal issues like homelessness, personal care and goals. No matter what their personal circumstance, I know that with assistance and the right tools, my students can go on to be successful in life. I'd appreciate any help that donors can give to help my students have a great educational experience.

My Project

I work with students that are in need of counseling and/or at risk of dropping out of school. We tackle academic and personal challenges in our small group and one to one sessions. Having iPads available will give us access to many math, science and reading sites during our tutoring sessions. My students often come to me in crisis. They may be upset, angry or sad about something that happened in school or at home. Sometimes they have great difficulty controlling or even identifying their emotions.

Having the iPads available will give us access to sites that teach mindfulness.

There are videos that teach breathing and calming techniques that the children can practice. If they learn to self-monitor their emotions they are less likely to get to the point where they are disrupting the learning process for themselves and classmates.
