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 everyone!

The goal for this project is to target the emotional regulation deficits our students in intermediate are being challenged with!

I love my students willingness, despite being in an awkward age group to be vulnerable without filters, to share and be vulnerable! To learn about emotional maturity and practice regulation skills to help beyond the classroom! My students need books that are highlighting the normality of feelings, even feelings we do not like (grief) and how we can overcome them!

The wishlist has a little bit of something for all my students! I cannot wait to share and be able to say this project was fully funded!

Thank you all in advance!!

Ms. Marah Garza MSW, LMSW Southmore Intermediate School Grades 6-8
