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

This project will allow my students to get a better and deeper understanding of the world around us, and the people we may encounter in our everyday lives. It is important that students in upper elementary, as well as lower, are exposed to different ways that we can be compassionate to those around us. I want my students to show and express sympathy and concern for others, it will make the world a better place.

My students will learn to see the world through the eyes of another person by hearing read-aloud stories that touch upon the importance of being there for others and showing up for others.

My students will learn to work towards alleviating the suffering of others by being exposed to different scenarios where acts of kindness can really change the world. Student success will be measured based on our acts of kindness project with the requested rocks.

I am a fourth year teacher and have used my special "You Can Do It" rock for each class I've taught so far, and it is an absolute honor to feel so remembered and appreciated by simply having an encouraging rock. I want my students to leave their legacy, as I have on them, by creating their own compassionate rocks for our school garden and community.

The bracelets and pencils would be used for students in the very beginning of the year to show positivity and compassion for others. The bracelets will allow students to be motivated to do their best, and to help others to show compassion. The journals would be used for students to let their emotions out in the beginning of the day and to self-reflect at the end of each day during dismissal.
