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

Learning in the classroom is really important and some students need extra tools to get the best learning experience! The materials in my cart will be used for a social skills group for students to learn social emotional skills and coping strategies. The markers and colored pencils will be used to support students in different activities such as art activities that allow them to express their emotions, psychoeducation activities, and collaborative work to build communication skills. The Happy or Not board game will be implemented into the group time to teach students about emotions and feelings in a fun and engaging way! The seat cushion will be used for those who need more sensory support during group activities to help them focus and feel calm. I hope that with these materials I can provide an interactive learning environment for my students to encourage them to grow as an individual in the classroom and outside of it!
