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

I have the pleasure of working with the most incredible students in Brooklyn. My students are resilient, determined agents of change. However, like most, they are dealing with the effects of the pandemic and learning to cope with daily stressors that are now multiplied as a result of the pandemic. Additionally, as a school, we are facing real challenges including budget cuts, reduced staffing, and the challenge of how to address the social-emotional needs of our school community. But there is hope, at our school, we understand that students' emotions and their ability to cope with challenges are directly tied to their ability to learn. Mats, flexible seating, journals, and other items are in this project.

Our calm-down space will be a safe space for students to go to when they feel their emotions are running too high and they need to regain emotional and physical control.
