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
This is an exciting project aimed at enhancing our classroom environment for my wonderful preschool students. Each day, I am inspired by their curiosity, creativity, and unique personalities. Many of them thrive when they have access to sensory support, which is why I am seeking your help to create a cozy corner that will serve as a safe and nurturing space for them.
My students are incredibly special.
They bring a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, each contributing to our classroom community in their own unique way. They are eager to learn, explore, and express themselves, but some struggle with emotional regulation. This cozy corner will provide a space where they can calm down, recharge, and regain their focus, ultimately supporting their social-emotional development.
The items requesting, including pillows, a tent, a weighted butterfly and lap pad, will provide a comfortable place for students to relax and feel secure, promoting a sense of safety that is essential for emotional regulation.
In addition, these tools will help students channel their energy and frustrations, allowing them to self-soothe and refocus their attention during learning activities.
My primary goal is to create a space that nurtures emotional well-being and promotes self-regulation among my students. By providing a cozy corner, I aim to empower them to recognize when they need a break and encourage them to utilize this space to help manage their emotions. Ultimately, I want to foster resilience and a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
