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

Students are often overwhelmed when it comes to testing days. Testing can be overwhelming in both personal stimuli and thoughts. These items will help reduce the anxiety that testing causes and help ease and relax students to perform their best!

Students will have a private area to themselves where they will feel less distracted by their peers as well as have a calming strategy to help with test anxiety.

Both teacher and students will benefit from these materials as the teacher will have more peace of mind and students will feel more secure in their testing environment.
