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
This year my students have been using the Kimochis curriculum to grow their social-emotional intelligence. The Kimochis curriculum utilizes character stuffed animals with complex personalities and feelings pillows to teach students self-regulation, conflict resolution, and empathy.
The students have absolutely loved the Kimochis characters, they beg for us to do social and emotional lessons each day!
This project will fund supplies for the students to create their very own Kimochis characters, pillows, and feelings. Students will be able to take this project home at the end of the year as a constant reminder of the lessons they've learned. Additionally, it will serve as a comfortable object for the little ones.
Students will be creating their own characters, who reflect their own strengths and areas of growth. They'll choose 3 feelings they have often, whether positive or negative. Along with the pillow, students will be writing a social story about their character. Throughout this project, students will demonstrate their creative skills and social-emotional intelligence. We will present our Kimochi pillows at an end-of-year Publishing Party.
