Celebrating 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
High school students struggle with mental health. From social media, bullying, their home life, and having so many firsts in their lives to their actual school work and studying their mental health is constantly under pressure. Many students at our school have communicated that school is their 'safe space' from their home life.
My classroom aims to create a comfortable and relaxing space to decrease anxiety and improve mental health by creating a sense of ambiance.
Students will get a sense of calm when walking into the classroom and will help diminish their stress and anxiety. They can learn in an environment that is zen.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
