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

In this project I am striving to create a supportive and nurturing environment that promotes both the academic and emotional well-being of my students. Mental health is a key component of their overall success, and I am seeking to enhance their learning experience by providing resources that support emotional regulation, sensory needs, and stress relief.

To help my students manage their mental health and foster a calm, focused environment, I am requesting Let's Talk!

Cubes,

The Anxiety Thumball, a variety of fidget toys, a punching bag magnetic drawing boards, magnetic tiles, an inkless water drawing board, a Pushpeel sensory activity board, snacks, and Gatorade.

These tools and sensory items will allow my students to express their emotions, reduce anxiety, and stay focused during the day, helping to promote a positive and healthy classroom environment. The snacks will help boost morale, focus, and energy.

Your help will be greatly appreciated in bringing this project to life.

Mr. Williams Miami Southridge Senior High School Grades 9-12
