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 are amazing youngsters who rely on their school counselor to help them with big, strong feelings. My counseling room needs an upgrade! We need comfortable seating options for students to relax in while processing their emotions. Nice, sturdy beanbag chairs will provide a welcoming environment. I would love to be able to organize my materials in a welcoming and neat way. Students thrive off an orderly, neat environment.

I need engaging activities to help kids develop and build on their social and emotional skills.

These games and dollhouses would make an amazing addition to the counseling environment.
