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

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read about my hope for my students. I want them to feel seen, comfortable, and engaged in my counseling office so that I can help them become who they are growing into.

The resources I have requested will turn my office from "office drab" to welcoming and engaging - which is essential for students to feel safe and to share what they need.

Items such as LEGO sets, magnetic tiles, and calming tools allow students to regulate their emotions and are able to share the feelings, thoughts, and needs that can be difficult to share. Asking for help can be difficult, and these tools make it easier!

Thank you for helping me support our students and families so they can continue learning and growing! I appreciate you.
