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 students will use these tools and activities during sessions in order to help make social emotional learning fun and engaging. They are curious young beings who are ready to take on new adventure.

Even as adults, we seek out other individuals and resources to help guide us in our own social emotional learning.

With big emotions and tiny bodies, our young students need to be exposed to a variety of tools and scenarios in order to foster their emotional intelligence and help them to become successful at regulating their own emotions. With your help, my students will be able to explore their emotions using these materials and together we will help them build their own tool box of coping skills.
