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

The sand tray is one of my favorite tools as an elementary school counselor. It gives my English as a Second Language students a nonverbal medium to share their stories and it gives all students a safe way of working through trauma. I am working on improving my skills in using play therapy techniques in the sand tray and I am trying to build up my collection of toys and miniatures.

When working with a sand tray, it is important to provide students with a variety of toys to represent issues they might be facing.

Toys should reflect the students' cultures and experiences. It is incredible the healing that can take place when students have the tools they need to express themselves within a supportive environment.
