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

I love my students and am committed to helping them grow academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. I want our support room to be a safe, welcoming space where every student feels understood and has tools to work through big emotions. A sensory bubble fish lamp will provide calming visual stimulation that can help students slow down, regulate their emotions, and regain focus during challenging moments. With this resource, students can practice healthy calming strategies, build self-regulation skills, and feel prepared to confidently return to their classrooms ready to learn and succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
