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

Despite the pandemic, my students have been able to report face to face and continue with their educational journey. I have chosen some motivational/fidget items to help ease some of my students' anxiety. This year, emotional well-being is a priority for me and I try to ease my students' anxiety levels. I also chose some writing tools to help correct my students' handwriting.

My students are survivors and with these much needed items, it will help my students easy their anxiety, help improve their handwriting and help them continue on their educational journey.
