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

I am creating this project to help my students learn mindfulness this year. The books in this project show students that they don't use mindfulness in the classroom but in other situations as well.

The items in this project will be used to help students stay calm and help with any needs they might have.

The fidget items will help students stay focused while they are being successful in the class.

The pillow is a great way for students to feel safe and help them with their emotional needs. Thank you for supporting my students!
