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

School can be hard for many students. For some, it can be an overstimulating space which makes it hard to actively learn and grow. Using things like fidgets or having safe spaces within the building to release, vent, or even just play, allows them to have greater access to their academics.

Items like fidgets will help me teach effective emotion management, and items to help document feelings are useful to help reduce anxiety and stress, and improve focus while providing a necessary calming effect.

Even though they are often simple, they're an effective way to manage symptoms of ADHD, OCD, and other conditions, promoting overall mental well-being.

Ms. Pierre Columbia Secondary School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
