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

The specific items I am requesting make a difference in their learning by giving making them tools to learn more about themselves, what makes them tick and how they feel. They will learn breathing and relaxation strategies to help them deal with anxiety, nervousness and/or unhappiness.

My goals of this project is giving each child this special opportunity to stop, sit and becoming aware of themselves, their surroundings and how they feel.

What makes any student special is that each child is special. Every child has unique gifts and talents. In my safe environment, this will become aware of their gifts and talents in a safe and nurturing environment.
