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

These books and tools will help grow the foundational life skill of understanding, recognizing, and managing emotions. The goal is to use these materials to help students increase their learning time and strengthen their social skills by growing their knowledge of emotions, how emotions effect them and others, and develop good strategies for managing emotions.

I have the honor of teaching diverse students who deserve all of the tools and opportunities to reach their fullest potential.

This project designed to help students understand and navigate their emotions now and in the future will help them find success and happiness at school and beyond.
