This project is fully funded
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
Second graders are full of emotions! A classroom calm zone will allow them to have a quiet space to go when emotions get too high. Students will be able to take a break when needed in class, after two minutes they will rejoin the class with a new mindset.
A calm zone is a space to teach students social emotional strategies and will give them a safe space to express themselves.
Offering a calm zone helps my students learn more about their individual emotions and motivates them to be successful learners. These additional resources including fidget toys and weighted lap pad will help my second graders stay focused as we create a safe and welcoming learning environment!
More than half of students from low‑income households
