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

The pandemic has now affected 2-3 academic years and has impeded the social emotion and academic learning of the students. It is imperative that with the return to in-person classes, now that the students can't use covid as an excuse to miss classes, that there is a way to help students cope with the mental stress of returning to school full-time.

A way to help with social-emotional stress is to have a calm-down or relaxing corner that students can use to destress.

Especially with the 6th graders that missed the last couple of years of elementary school and now need to adapt to the fast pace of switching classes and classrooms on a daily basis. My school is using a bloc schedule, which for some students it is stressful in itself, and need the additional help of the stress ball and fidget spinners to help them destress in the calm-down corner.
