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

Who doesn’t love a good hands on experience when you’re learning something new? I know I do! This is especially true for children. I am growing the resources and materials that my students need to help them when they need to express frustrations or talk about certain situations that may be difficult for them on the elementary level. As an elementary school counselor I rely heavily on play therapy. Play therapy is a technique that uses play to help children express themselves and resolve problems. These materials will provide students with a tangible outlet to do so.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
