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

SEL is an essential component in making sure our students' mental health needs are met. Play therapy is effective in children of all ages and can help ease anxiety of students who have difficulty expressing their emotions. Magna-Tiles and Totika therapy game can be a fun way to ease tension during peer mediations or individual sessions. The books requested will be added to my office library for our students to see themselves represented in stories and picture books. The snacks will be provided to students during group or individual sessions to meet needs of hunger while in school.

My goal is to always have a safe and comfortable space for our students to improve social skills, articulate their emotions and express themselves.
