My Students

The majority of my students come from low-income households without adequate basic resources. They’re separated from teachers and friends and might be worried about getting sick. Many have already experienced trauma and face new worries if their families are experiencing financial troubles or illness. Despite the hardships they are facing with school being closed, they are resilient, eager learners.

Many students are experiencing high levels of stress as schools close due to the pandemic and social-emotional learning needs to play a major role during this time.

Students would benefit from having SEL material at home to help them continue learning coping strategies and develop a growth mindset.

My Project

Remote learning is so different from regular school. At school, our students had the ability to process their emotions with their counselor, social worker, and mentors skilled in SEL. During remote learning, many of my students actively engage in SEL discussions and check-ins, highlighting the importance of this area. Unfortunately, not all students have access to technology to engage.

My goal is to provide students with guided journals that focus on mental health in a fun and engaging way.

My students would enjoy having their own personal journals, as they have learned that it is okay to express their feelings in a healthy way. The journals will be distributed during scheduled food pick-ups and technology returns days.
