A Growing Heart

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

My students are sunshines in gloomy days. They are special in every way, but the way they carry their heart is indescribable. They are always finding new ways to be better citizens in class and outside of class. Providing these resources will help them gain confidence, knowledge and control management. Students will have a personal space to work with their emotions through different art activities, they will be surrounded by positives messages, and a place to relax their minds. They will gain a sense of control of their own emotions. When a student is being supported with their own personal needs, being emotions, it creates a different experience for them. They become more aware and motivated to learn. Help me make a difference in my classroom!
