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 materials will support our crew, as they develop they develop a sense of community and belonging, communication, and social-emotional wellbeing.

Supplies will build a sense of mastery, which helps self-esteem and self-image.

Snacks will also support our students during the peaks and valleys of the school day.

Group bonding and communication exercises will help our students build stronger connections with each other, deepen their sense of belonging in our school community, and learn from each other, building compassion and understanding for each other.

Finally, there are a few little things that students love to get like stickers and stamps, which encourage our students to keep doing their best!
