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

Hello! I am a school social worker and I am hoping to continue creating a wellness classroom that is comforting, safe, and welcoming to all students who utilize it throughout the school day. We utilize toys, books, and space to support our kids to utilize positive coping skills to return to the classroom.

I see approximately 25-45 students each day and support their mental and physical well-being by providing additional resources such as books, fidgets and tiles that support their regulation throughout the day.

The literacy books provide open discussion to create community on challenges or obstacles our kids may be experiencing throughout their school year.

With your support, you are providing resources to continue to help our kiddos learn and grow. Thank you so much for your support!
