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

School can be stressful, which is why students need a special place where they can express their emotions freely without any judgements. We all know how challenging it is to express ourselves when we are not feeling ok.

I would love to be able to provide a safe heaven, with the canopy and bean bag chair, for my students where they can take a breather whenever they feeling down.

The materials requested will be used to calm my students down in stressful situations and be able to understand what is it that they are feeling and what they can do to manage those situations.
