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

Help me give my students bean bag chairs and other supplies for their calming area. A calming space in our classroom will provide them with the tools they need to regulate their emotions. My students will be able to calm down and/or relax if they need a break.

I teach 3 to 5 year old preschool students with special needs.

I am requesting a variety of resources and supplies including a bean bag seat, books, sensory paint, playdough, and more. These will make the Calming Area more inviting and help the students to regulate their emotions and feel safe and happy.

Thank you for helping our little ones succeed in school!

Ms. A. Grades PreK-2
