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

My students are from diverse backgrounds. Many are underpriveliged and have basic needs that are sometimes not met at home.

I am requesting SEL/mindfulness activities and games because many students are unable to process feelings and emotions.

This results in displaced anger, outbursts, and physical altercations with others.

I want to work on SEL/mindfulness with my students on a more regular basis so that they are able to cope with their emotions in a more positive way. I know that these items will be very beneficial to my students. Thank you.
