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

The book series "A Little Spot of" will be a great addition to my classroom library. Students will be using these materials and learn from them. I will use these books during our social emotional learning time for them to learn how to handle their emotions.

I want my students to be able to understand each other through empathy and respect and they will do this by learning how to handle their emotions.

Through the use of these materials we will discuss in class how to understand their emotions and how to handle them.
