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

Social and emotional development is essential for children to develop skills critical for success in school and life. Emotional regulation, self-awareness, and social awareness are critical in helping children develop a sense of identity and belonging, laying the foundation for cognitive abilities in literacy and math. Please help me provide my students with the fidgets and bubble space to relieve anxiety and stress, improve their academic performance and ability,, and to give them a safe place that nurtures self resilience and overall well-being. I am grateful for the support!
