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

Having materials for Harmony Haven and circle time activities will bring a touch of magic to our classroom! The cozy blankets, calming tools, and pillows will transform our space into a calming oasis for self-expression and emotional regulation.

My goal is to create a space where students can unwind, express themselves, and connect with others during circle time.

By providing these resources, I hope to spark joy, nurture creativity, and promote social-emotional learning in a fun and relaxed setting.

What makes my students special is their wonderful uniqueness and endless potential. They light up the room with their personalities and creativity, and they deserve a space that celebrates who they are and helps them shine bright in their learning journey.
