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

As a school counselor my hope is to help my students develop much-needed life long social and emotional skills such as coping strategies to handle strong feelings and emotions.

Many of my students have difficulties with emotional regulation.

My students will have fun and learn social skills through play. The calming strips will help my students manage their strong emotions and energy levels. The agendas are for my students with executive function difficulties, to write down assignments. I've seen many of my students struggle with organization and keeping track of assignments.
