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

Help support students socio-emotional wellbeing in class by providing a variety of art materials, puzzles, culturally relevant books and games for students to use. There are times when students might be having high stress days and need a 5 minute break in between their 90 minute class period. Having materials that will encourage them to interact with one another in a safe manner or allow them to take a deep breath and relax when needed are essential to make sure we are meeting our students needs holistically. In addition, the clicker is a great tool to make sure that I can tend to different students needs in the case that I need to step out of the classroom with a student for a conversation.

Lastly, culturally relevant literature is enriching to students mental health because it encourages representation and promotes high self-esteem.

All of these materials listed will also help nurture a more safe, accessible and fun learning environment!
