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

What I love about my students is that they are resilient despite the many challenges they may face in their young lives. I want to be able to make sure that their mental health is being tended too in order for them to be successful academically and be the light in the world by being a kind and caring individual.

Teaching my students, the importance Empathy and how to manage their feelings with the social emotional books, games, toys and exercise dice will help them now and become the change in this world.

My goal is to teach and use the items I have requested in my lessons in the classrooms and in groups.
