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

As the art teacher for my K-5 School I service 170 students. As such I believe I have a obligation to be the extended arm of the regular classrooms each day providing emotional and social support as well as teaching art.

Social conversations that will be stimulated by the books of "Belonging," Inclusivity" "Change," and "Gratitude," will teach our kids how to navigate daily situations where emotions normally would overtake their ability to process it themselves.

Social stories give them specific examples on how to learn to self regulate. Tools like The Breathing Kitty and Puppy as well as Emotion Plushies will provide a calming breath and snuggle while they begin the process of self regulation.. Combining this with a calming art curriculum that includes Modeling Clay, Watercolor paints and Special Journal Paper, students are given opportunities to regulate the overwhelming emotions, and calm themselves.

Thus, being in a calmer state, kids returning to the regular classrooms, are able to be more successful in all of their curricular subjects. As the art teacher I have a unique opportunity to offer this social emotional support to our whole school through teaching these emotional regulation skills and supporting that through my art curriculum as well.
