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

My students give it their best daily and I know that these materials will help them soar, socially, emotionally and academically. These SEL materials will fill my SEL calm corner where students are able to visit if they are not in the green zone (ready to learn). The noise cancelling headphones will allow these students do focus on themselves internally while tuning the learning of others out. My students in my class need support with finding ways to stay focused while learning and the swivel chairs as well as the cushions will help these students do so.
