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 this year need a lot of help to express their emotions. They easily lash out with every day anxiety, frustrations and anger. The books that I need will help my students to get a better understanding on how to express their feelings. The different games will help them to learn how to work and play together without arguing with each other. The notebooks will be used for them to express themselves through writing and drawing.

I hope you will help me, to help my students improve in their learning journey about their emotions.

Thank you looking through my project and helping my students.
