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

Social-emotional learning and mindfulness are the key elements supporting my student's executive functioning, which refers to the higher-level cognitive skills they can utilize to control and coordinate their other cognitive abilities and behaviors. Also, I want to prepare my students for first grade by providing them with decoding books essential to build their reading and writing skills. My goal is to make learning more fun and effective for my students.

Education during younger years should be fun and filled with positive experiences.

These educational materials will help make that possible.
