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

My students are smart, funny, full of life and also full of little emotions.

After a rough year of Covid, sometimes my students have difficulty regulating their emotions, which is why I am requesting tools for social emotional learning.

I am asking for The Feelings book and set of plush toys that go with it as well as a self regulating calm down toy. I am also asking for laminating sheets to preserve the resources this book comes with. I am so excited to have the opportunity to be given the tools that my students need to be successful. Thank you for your support.
