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 new and low-level English Language Learners who need a space when they are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of learning English in a new country. Every day they come to class ready to learn, but there are times when they need a moment to regulate their emotions and find the words to express their needs and feelings.

By donating to this project you will help provide my students with the space and books they need to help express their feelings.

They will be able to work on breathing techniques and read bilingual books in a safe space within the classroom.

As most of my students are in Kindergarten and 1st grade, this project will provide a great learning activity not only in their social-emotional learning, but help give them the vocabulary to express themselves outside of the classroom.
