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

Bean bags are often overlooked as a therapeutic tool, but they can be incredibly helpful! Bean bags are wonderful at helping users become more aware of their bodies and how they fill the space around them.

Having bean bags in our classroom will help our scholars learn how to regulate their emotions and support behavioral changes.

I want my students to be developmentally supported and safe in their learning environment, learning self-management, self-awareness, and personal agency. The bean bags will be a tool that provides the help needed for this change.
