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 a very diverse class this year, which I love. I have many students who are bilingual and a couple of students with special needs and at times require a calming are to calm themselves down. Some of my students have a difficult time expressing their feeling verbally. This materials would help my students with anxious and panicking feelings, they're super effective for several other challenges kids often face as well. The students can also learn a few techniques to help them at home as well. Thank you so much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Preston
