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

I would like to provide my students with materials to practice self-regulation. Coloring has been shown to effectively reduce stress and anxiety which is why I am asking for your support.

My students who were out of school for a year and a half, like many other students, are overwhelmed at times.

Resources, such as these, assist with providing inexpensive, yet quick tools to help with feelings of anxiety.

The coloring books selected are designed specifically to be used as anxiety-reducing tools, which is why your support is greatly appreciated.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
