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
The Berkowitz School is an urban elementary school in a high need community that specializes in fully integrating students on the autism spectrum during specialist classes of art, music, technology. Science and physical education. Our school community serves 480 students and approximately eighty percent of students are English language learners.
This project will give all of our students a safe space within my busy art classroom environment which often has between 28-30 students in it for hands on creative process centered projects.
My goal is to give students a safe place within my classroom where they can calm down and refocus without having to leave their class.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
