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 Students

Our Tk - 5th grade students live in the low-income, mid-city district of Los Angeles. Our students come to school every day and we have the highest attendance for a Title I/low-income school with a population of about 700 plus students. The transitional kindergarteners through 5th graders are a rambunctious, beautiful bunch of kids with so much life, love and learning to be had. They deserve everything the world has to offer and more! We are so proud of them, every step of the way!

My Project

Our students need so much help in self-awareness and time to reflect on their absolute endless potential! They have so much going on at home and at school as well! These materials will give them the opportunity to release, reflect, and become in tune with themselves as students and overall citizens in our society!

The DVDs will provide instruction while the teacher goes around to help children position themselves correctly.

The cushions will provide any child who needs special sensory stimulation and extra time. The diffuser for essential oils will expose our students to the methods of nature and teach them that our natural environment truly does provide us with life in many ways!
