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

Middle School students emotions are all over the place. They have a lot to deal with handling their emotions and their academics and can be unsure how to deal with it all.

I want to create an environment where my students feel safe emotionally and learn how to be compassionate towards others.

After having a discussion about what bothers my students and the non verbal ways they express it, it will allow them to see through someone’s else eyes how they would express their feelings. We would talk about things that would make them feel better. We would discuss how a message in a card just lets someone know you are thinking about them.

The cards would be made available for students to write a message to someone who may be having a bad day and needs a little pick me up. The inspirational little gifts will be available to so the students can show their compassion by giving it to another student or teacher who may need it. The snacks and candy would be used to reward students who show compassion towards others. They will also be used as a little pick me up for students who may need it.

By observing the actions of my students giving an inspirational message gift, card, or snack item to someone needing a little pick me up I can tell if they understand being compassionate. I will be able to see it in how they support their classmates and how observant they are of others feelings.
