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

Please help me have a center where the students can be stress-free. Mental health is a skill that students struggle with since Covid-19. Students need help regulating their emotions. I think this center will help as a cool station where students can use the kinetic sand and build using their gross motor skills while controlling their anxiety and anger deficiencies. My students need help regulating their emotions and with your help, this center can be positive and effective. The goal for this project is to have the center available for the students when they need a break.
