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! My students need tools to help them both in the counseling room and in their classrooms! You would be amazed at how quickly a stressball, or weighted stuffed animal can help a child calm down so that they can effectively verbalize their needs, or how a calming strip can help them focus on their schoolwork.

Students love and truly benefit from these items and YOU can make a huge difference by helping us get them.

These items will be used in counseling sessions, in classroom calm corners, or as needed by students.

Ms. Pickel
Grades 3-5
