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

My project is all about mental health by creating a welcoming space for all. The items I’m getting will be used to help them feel comfortable and included. I’m also getting things to help them stay calm, or relax when needed. My kids are coming from migrant families.

I want my classroom to provide them a welcoming, comforting, and safe feeling like a warm hug.

I’m including warm colors carpets, pillows, motivational and welcoming posters. A speaker for calming music, and an infuser. Many things to reach comfort through different senses, and make them feel special, as they are.
