Celebrating 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
As a new teacher to this school. I have no calming corner for my students. Some of my students have anger management problems. They have special needs and need a calming corner. This would help them calm down instead of hitting others. I would like some bean bags and a carpet to create this corner for them to calm down. It would be great if you can help us out by creating this space for them to think twice before hitting or saying things to other students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
