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

A calming area is an area that will help my students learn how to identify their emotions and teach them how to better regulate themselves. These items will be able to provide a safe space for my students to process their emotions without distraction or judgment.

A calming corner is a great addition to my learning environment.

Students will also learn the benefit of communication and relationship skills from the calm-down corner. Students will have prompts that will help them calm down when needed. They will have tools they need to regulate their emotions
