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

Early elementary students are just beginning to learn the social and emotional skills that will carry them through life; Furthermore, nearly every interaction can be an opportunity to practice. In addition to providing explicit instruction in social and emotional learning (SEL), I will reinforce these lessons through fun, interactive activities that address the five core SEL competencies of cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control (CARES) by using theses read aloud and incorporating a fun activity that goes along with each book. Moreover, having a conversation with children and discussing or thoughts and feelings.
