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

Stress and Anxiety is something I have noticed with my students this year. Students came into the classroom this year behind in academics, having to wear masks, and not sure of what will come next.

In 5th grade, our students love to use pop its, fidgets, and squishies to relieve tension and to help them concentrate.

Every day and every class period I have a number of students that use stress relief items to help them concentrate and learn. These items will enable students to focus and continue to grow throughout the school year.
