Mr. Turban’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/5517248 Customize URL

My school, Maria Sanchez Elementary School, is in Hartford, CT. My students are wonderful, caring, hardworking students. One hundred percent of our school qualifies for free breakfast and lunch, a full third of our students are English Learners (EL) and some students have never had access to any form of schooling or education. Many of our students are currently living in poverty and struggle to purchase basic necessities. My classroom is a calm space, designed to help students that are struggling find a relaxing space to self-regulate. My classroom therefore, is designed to help this process and it needs to be an area that a wide variety of ages- from preschool to fifth grade, regular and special education students, and everything in between can find comfort in. As a result, this space cannot be a space might alienate, cause discomfort, or discourage students from finding positive solutions to their problems.
