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

We are in the thick of the second semester, where things are getting tough and the stress is getting to the 12th graders. Having a morning off so they can reset and do things that don't involve their academics and thinking of what their next steps after high school are going to be will help them feel better! It can serve as a mental health day and encourage them to continue, since they are so close to the finish line. Having a fidget will help with their anxiety, and having something sensory will help alleviate anxiety.

Something that makes my students special is that they appreciate the small gestures I do to give them a break or let them have a bit of fun before having to concentrate back on their work.
