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

Social and emotional learning is key when it comes to a students success. Covid-19 affected the way our students socialize and communicate with each other. We have found that our students are able to express themselves through building and play.

Materials that allow students to express their emotions in a positive and healthy way are essential to their success.

The ordered resources will allow our students to have a gateway to conversation with each other and with me, the school counselor. Through these conversations, we will work on building a positive school environment.
