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 Students

Students in this group are bright, vibrant, and creative kiddos. They are funny, have strong personalities, and love to build relationships. They are interested in learning about the world around them and trying their best.

Many of them have not been around children their age or had the opportunity to practice self-management skills.

They are in need of support in developing coping skills, problem solving strategies, and relating positively to their peers.

My Project

NYC students have been stuck at home for 1+ years. Some students are entering the building for the first time since March 2020. Our elementary school's students are craving connection, opportunities to be creative, and time to socialize with their peers.

We are working tirelessly to build spaces in which students can build relationships and develop social and emotional skills that they were not able to practice during remote learning.

We are hoping to bolster up their self-esteem, conflict-resolution and communication skills with this counseling group. We want to create a space in which they are celebrated for positive behaviors. With therapy games, sensory toys, books and art supplies, we want to bolster their self-esteem and support them in developing an "I can" attitude. We want to provide a space in which they see that everyone is struggling to adjust, and their school is here to support them.
