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 eager learners who thrive in a classroom that supports both their academic and social-emotional growth. To help them succeed, I am requesting A Little Spot Social Emotional Learning book collection, flexible seating options, and calm strips.

The A Little Spot SEL program includes books that teach students how to identify and regulate their emotions, as well as essential skills like teamwork and organization.

These resources will help my students become better teammates, classmates, and learners while building confidence in themselves and their ability to succeed.

Additionally, flexible seating will provide my students with choices in how and where they learn during independent work time. By allowing them to select seating that best supports their focus and comfort, they will have a greater sense of control over their learning experience.

With your support, we can create a classroom that fosters emotional well-being, independence, and academic success!
