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

Often times students come to my room for support due to different mental health-related problems or simply because they are having a rough patch at home/school.

Providing my kids with a calming space will provide them a safe space with low stimulus.

This will help them build a safe environment where students feel more empowered, motivated, and ready to learn. Thank you!

Thank you for considering my project and for helping me support our most vulnerable students. Using these materials will help me provide my students with the best support and teach them tools that will hopefully make life-lasting changes.
