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

This innovative project aims to harness the creative potential of Lego bricks as a dynamic medium for students to articulate and explore a spectrum of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) topics. By utilizing this engaging platform, students will have the unique opportunity to delve into the intricacies of emotions, actively engage in goal-setting exercises, navigate and conquer challenges, and cultivate coping strategies through expressive creativity. The overarching objective is to offer students a multifaceted experience that not only enhances their social skills and fosters positive relationships but also seamlessly integrates academic content. What sets my students apart is their distinctive ability to embrace these learning opportunities with enthusiasm and resilience, making them truly exceptional in their educational journey.
