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

A lot of teens have a hard time dealing with their emotions. Instead of doing something productive or something to help their emotions, many students use distractions such as talking to other students or using their cellphones in class. By providing my students with some resources to help calm them or fidget toys to help them concentrate in class, student engagement might increase in a positive manner.

Social emotional learning strategies are important to help students be successful.

Please help me, help my students by providing them with these resources to help them succeed.
