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

Coloring, or educational books are nothing I haven't supplied to my students before. However, because coloring books provide a a creative outlet, allowing individuals to express emotions through colors and patterns, the pages eventually are colored up. This meditative activity promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances focus, supporting social-emotional needs by encouraging self- awareness and emotional regulation.

Accurate note-taking is paramount in therapy sessions, enabling comprehensive understanding of student's need.

The 10.3 Paper Tablet enhances this process by offering a versatile and efficient platform for recording observations, treatment plans, and client insights. Its digital capabilities allow seamless organization and easy retrieval of information, ensuring that as the counselor, I can focus on delivering quality support rather than managing paperwork.

Investing in new social-emotional materials is essential for my professional development, enabling me to effectively turnkey valuable insights to my students, and colleagues. Having snacks for students, especially those in temporary housing, is crucial. These snacks address immediate nutritional needs, ensuring they have the energy to focus and participate in school without the pain of a grumbling belly.

Your support is paramount in making my space and practice on that is holistic for my school community!

With Gratitude,

Ms. Quinonez Young Women's Leadership High School Grades 6-8
