Celebrating 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
Building a counseling space where students feel comfortable expressing their feelings and have access to diverse calming tools and resources that enhance student's SEL skills, is important. SEL skills are essential for academic learning and success. Research shows that social and emotional skills such as problem solving, impulse control, empathy, and self- regulation aid in creating a positive classroom culture and school climate.
Our dual language (Spanish) learners can benefit from diverse bilingual books and interactive games and activities that build on their social and emotional skills and add to a cozy and calming counseling space.
The Face to Face Transitions card games allow students to practice decision-making skills as they think about choices to make throughout various scenarios while processing the transition from elementary to middle school and middle school to high school. The Behind Anger card game teach children to identify emotions behind anger and develop positive strategies for self-regulation. The feelings charts provide students with visual strategies they can practice to calm their bodies. The thumb balls are an interactive tool to build rapport and help children discuss topics such as interpersonal relationships and personal strengths. The bilingual SEL books will provide a fun and engaging way to teach children about topics of grief, self-control, immigration, and cultural identify in their native language, and by authors that represent students' cultural backgrounds.
Thank you for your support in expanding counseling resources and creating an inclusive counseling space with varied materials that accommodate the needs of all students.
