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

Please help make my SEBS (Social Emotional Behavioral Service) classroom a warm, inviting, therapeutic and safe environment for my students. As the SEBS teacher here at SCHS, we try to create a space that the students willingly go to, in order to get back on track. We support our students both academically and emotionally. Having an environment that is inviting and therapeutic with a rugs and cleaning materials, helps us process emotions and strategize how to best navigate our day. The SEBS program constantly works with a varied and unique population, teaching the skills necessary to be successful and independent young adults.
