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
My students continue to cope with the affects of COVID-19. Some of them struggle with regulation of their emotions and self-control. These Calming Area resources will help students find a safe and comfortable place to take a moment and re-center themselves before resuming their classwork.
In this Calming Area students will have the opportunity to practice self-care and self-efficacy.
They will use photo cards and books to help them recognize and express their feelings. Likewise, they will utilize calming sensory items (e.g. colorful gel-bead shapes, textured balls, and liquid-filled windows.)
This will be a space where students can practice meditation and mindfulness. Specifically, students can journal, draw, and practice breathing exercises.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
