Mistakes Can Lead to Success

Help me give my students a welcoming yet structured environment. The quotes will provide inspiration. The bean bags will provide comfort as we group for mindfulness activities. The breathing balls will be used to help guide their breathing.

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

I am a teacher in a low-income, high-poverty school district where my students are faced with many challenges throughout their lives, which impact their school and home lives. This at times leads to mistakes that come with consequences. This is when my classroom is put to use. This is my first year as the Success Center teacher.

I firmly believe that the earlier we engage our youth and help them see their self-worth, we will increase their chances of being productive citizens today and in the future.

Creating a structured yet nurturing classroom is my goal. Filling the walls with inspirational quotes will serve as a subtle reminder that they can and will make better choices. As students work through their consequences they learn valuable lessons about self-regulation, breathing, and thinking before they act. They also participate in restorative justice practices and social-emotional learning on a daily basis by our counselors. During this time the bean bags and the breathing balls will assist in the students reaching their behavioral goals.
