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
Adding new bookshelves and lamps to our 5th-grade classroom will help create a calming corner by making the environment feel inviting, organized, and soothing for students who need a quiet space to regroup their emotions.
A well-structured bookshelf with a variety of books will encourage my students to relax and immerse themselves in reading while warm, soft lamps can create a cozy and calming atmosphere.
Calming corners are important in elementary schools because they provide a designated space for students to regulate their emotions, practice self-monitoring techniques, and develop emotional awareness.
Nearly all 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
