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 24 ETK students are 4 years old and working on learning how to regulate their feeling and emotions. My 4 year old students are eager learners who come to school daily ready to learn and engage with their peers. We are learning different strategies to help us navigate big emotions and working on self regulation. Having a welcoming and inviting bench to sit and process their feelings will provide some comfort to them as they engage in comforting or holding a soft doll or watching the liquid sensory viewers.
