Celebrating 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
These tools will help bring our new social-emotional learning curriculum to life. Our classroom is a space where students are learning how to understand big feelings, show empathy, and build meaningful friendships. The *A Little SPOT* books and plushies are more than just adorable characters—they’re visual, hands-on tools that help students feel seen, safe, and supported.
Every item in this bundle was chosen with my students in mind.
I’ve seen how much they respond to stories that reflect their emotions and situations. These resources will become a central part of our calming corner, small group lessons, and class discussions. My students already love talking about emotions and kindness—and this project will help deepen their understanding while making learning feel fun and engaging.
With your help, we’ll create a classroom where every child can grow not only academically, but emotionally too.
