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

These materials that we wanted to have in our classroom will be extremely beneficial for the students. It will be so helpful for the students to just need to get the wiggles out. I have seen how this choice can positively affect my students work on their what they are feeling for the moment and stay in our Calm Corner. The posters. pillow and soft toys for sure will give the calming effect that is needed. These materials will serve as a tool for them to have calm demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
