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

This project will support the 1250 students in my school during their time in my Social Emotional Learning classroom.

This project will support students with Social Emotional Learning and Special Education by providing Sensory Objects and Calming Resources for students in Special Education as well as general education students who are experiencing big emotions.

This project will also allow for a rolling standing desk that allows for me to be portable and get to the many students that I serve.

I work in a Title 1 school that serves a diverse population of students who have amazing personalities and caring hearts. These resources would support them with their emotions and help them with calming strategies. This project would make a huge impact in the lives of students during their time in our Social Emotional class.
