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 have the pleasure of working with the most incredible students in Brooklyn who like most have been impacted by the Covid- 19 pandemic. We are facing real challenges including budget cuts from the city, reduced staffing and the challenge of how to place students on a path for continued learning growth. Coupled with these concerns are the social- emotional needs of students. But there is hope, at our school, we understand that students' emotions and their ability to cope with challenges are directly tied to their ability to learn.

The materials in this project like sensory items, liquid tiles and more will give students the opportunity to learn how to cope with stressors, challenges and emotions in adaptive ways while being celebrated for being the amazing humans they are.
