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

With a lack of in-person learning due to Covid-19, students have lost many abilities to cope with school environment stressors. Our classroom helps at risk students gain these skills, and be productive teens throughout their school career. The emotional learning activates resources requested will allow them to participate in social and as well as complete their academic work. Alternative seating and computer monitors are needed for group activities and academic work, and sensory tools will help students learn to regulate their emotions and cope with any challenges. Students have to spend all day in our room, including their lunch period. A Keurig will help ease our high schoolers day in our center while we work on their SEL and mindfulness skills, as well as part of our reward tiers for fun hot chocolate days.
