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

To know my students is to know brightness, intelligence and enormous potential. I am always in awe of my students resilience and eagerness to belong and to be better humans in a world that is constantly challenging and changing.

My students teach me every single about humility and patience.

They know all too well the struggle of not having everything they need at their reach. They have gotten accustomed to waiting for things that are in abundance in other schools. I want to provide my students with a safe space where they can practice mindfulness and self expression. Through the use of fidget and sensory items my students can really begin to open up and feel tethered to something that might make them feel safe and anchored.
