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

Hello, I am looking for your help in supporting the social and emotional needs of my kinder students. School can be a super fun and exciting place full of learning, but sometimes it can also be overwhelming.

When kids cannot express feeling in a safe way time of learning can be put to a stop, and emotions can run high.

The flexible seating, weighted lap pads, book , sensory resources and objects on this list will help my kinder kiddos learn to regulate emotions and take a few minutes to distress in a positive way that will help them get back on track for learning in a safe and positive way. With your help we can make kinder kiddos understand feeling and control emotions.
