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

I am so lucky to have a wonderful and amazing class this 2021-2022 school year. My class is a class full of unique, bright minds, yet very delicate emotions. Our biggest goal is we lack certain items that would benefit all and support my students' growth, both academically and emotionally. We were so very lucky with our Sensory and Creativity project that we had funded thanks to Donors Choose, and t made a world of a difference. My students now have a wonderful "Calm Spot" with various stress relief and sensory play items they absolutely love, as well as a "create area" where they can do therapeutic art. These things I have had to be put away during COVID 19.

Our classroom is made up of 2nd-5th grade students with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities.

It is a Self-Contained class, so we do all our learning, for all together every day. My class means the world to me and my colleagues. Our class has specific interests in creating, art, and reading, and working on Mindfulness that motivates them in a variety of ways. The students love practicing Mindfulness and simple meditation before we begin our work.

My Project

The project I am requesting is to help supplement my Mindfulness Magic project. We were lucky enough to be funded for this just recently. However, I need a color printer to print the beautiful, teacher-created resources to help my students understand mindfulness, learn coping strategies, and social skills.

My learners are the world to me, and I want the world for them.

Giving them tangible resources to help build the Social and Emotional skills they so deserve to learn. Not only will this help them in school, but at home, and hopefully for the rest of their lives.
