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

My project will help students from all backgrounds who receive counseling services strive from fun activities and snacks on hand. Students will also benefit from having fidget items to support learning in their classroom settings. Students should feel that when they are in school and if they are hungry, they can go to someone to grab a quick snack to eat. During counseling sessions, providing them with fun activities in which they can also engaged with each other is also important! I am always in need of crayons, markers, books, paper. This will make social emotional learning fun for these students so they can strive in their personal lives and academic school years.
