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

Hi, I'm "Mrs G" a school social worker! Help me help my students have a stress-free start to the 25-26 school year!

The first week of school is tough for many of our students struggling with their mental health and this project will provide tools to ease their anxiety and help with their transition back to school!

I am requesting sensory stickers, fidget rings, and stress balls to provide mindfulness calming techniques that students can take with them as a transitional object in the classroom. I'm hoping to utilize the Uno games to build rapport with my students and the glue and Sharpies to make self-affirmation touchstones.

Thanks for helping my students and I have a great start to the new school year!

Ms. G Rancho Alamitos High School Grades 9-12
