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 extremely active and full of emotions. There are times when they are having a difficult time and need more support to help regulate their emotions. Providing them with a weighted cuddly puppy will help soothe them physically when in need. They will have access to their puppy friend and an adult will support them with colorful visuals.

My students will benefit greatly from colorful visuals to help them regulate their big emotions.

We all carry so many emotions and sometimes a visual can be the switch that helps students process their emotions. Providing them with colorful visuals with HP ink will help them reach a calm space.

Thank you for considering my project to support my students' social-emotional health. We appreciate all of your donations. Thank you.
