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 coming back from break have a lot of stress and anxiety when they come to school. Reading kindness books, and having discussions are helping but my students need more strategies.

My students need a calm place they can go to and things they can play with or help them get some off the anxiety so they can have a productive day and become a calm student that is able to function and work with peers and by themselves to work on their letters, numbers, social skills and promote a better self through learning.

My students need a calming kit and toys to give them a sense of calm as well as a way to get out how they are feeling by using the fidget toys, stress balls, and other sensory materials in the calming center.
