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

I am a Kindergarten teacher, and this is my second-year teaching. In my classroom social emotional learning is important, because it creates positive behavior. My students need to develop stronger social/ emotional skills, because of their young age. Students will learn to be empathic towards others . Learning SEL will help my students improve their confidence and self-awareness. My students will have a positive social behavior and solve problems on their own.

There are some diversity books that will teach my students about everything that makes people different from each other.

My students need to learn about other cultures and why each culture is unique.
