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 a social worker providing services to students in middle school. The items on my list are for students who struggle with utilizing self-regulating skills. This struggle creates barriers in forming meaningful relationships with peers and adults. All of the social games selected on my list allow me to capture student's attention and engagement. Learning the foundations of social skills and self-regulating skills will help improve their behavior within all settings. Achieving these goals are key elements to a successful academic school year. Help me help them recognize their potential.
