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 an amazing group of second graders. Specifically, I have an amazing group of second graders who have not had the chance to fully develop social-emotional skills due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

My students are brilliant and caring, but lately this often is overshadowed by their quick rise to frustration.

Their frustration with each other, with things that don't come easily and with adults.

I would like to add these selected things to my calm down corner in order to help teach my students some more coping strategies, aided by developmentally appropriate tools, which they can use when they are feeling those "big emotions" which can easily get out of control. Students at this age need visual and physical aids to help them cope- it is very difficult for them to just theorize something. I am hoping that the breathing boards, fidgets, sensory tools and easy to read posters will help my students on their journey of being able to cope with life's challenges.
