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 am collaborating and supporting teachers who are seeking to support students social emotional well-being. My students are loving, curious, and passionate. I aim to reduce the social emotional and academic gap by sharing my knowledge of the importance of having a healthy mind.

This tools will go directly to teachers classroom so they too can see the magic that unfolds when our students feel validated and supported!

I am very excited to help a teacher set up their own calming corner in their classroom so they can utilize some of the strategies we use discuss. Empowering our teachers is also crucial to the success of our students.

It takes a village!
