“A Warm Welcome at School”
In this activity, students will demonstrate their understanding of the struggles faced by students like Jaime and Ángela by creating their own welcome program for Jaime’s or Ángela’s new school.
Imagine that you are a student leader at one of the New Mexican schools that Jaime and Ángela will be attending. You know that there are several new students who have emigrated from Central America, and you want to make sure that they feel welcome in their new school. What kinds of programs could students create and run that would help students in Jaime’s and Ángela’s situations feel less homesick, understand how their new school functions, or make new friends? After the kinds of traumas these students may have experienced, how might their new school community best reach out and show compassion toward them?
