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

Through playing cooperative games, strategy exploration, and mindfulness practice, kids will learn the skills to be successful in relationships, in school, and throughout life. These skills will help manage stress, anxiety, and other pressures.

Games and materials (sensory mats, emotions dice, etc.) will be used in small group lessons and whole classrooms as we focus on community circles, restorative practices, mindfulness, and self-regulation.

Thank you for your generosity and consideration of my mission of student self-regulation and mindfulness. I can’t wait to see students becoming experts in self-regulation and the impact that it can have in other areas of their educational journey!
