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 Students

I am the proud Academic Support Coach in a Title I elementary building.

Our students are working hard to develop a love for reading and learn mathematics and be creative in ways to apply to the world around them, it is my hope to provide materials to ensure success by providing them a space to calm down when their feeling stressed or overwhelmed in the classroom.

My Project

The large pillows will be used to designate a safe place in the classroom for students to take a break when they are feeling stressed out or overwhelmed.

By having an area in the classroom to take a break with the large comfy pillows, students will not miss instructional time and will be able to self regulate their emotions.

This will in turn help support our academic goals and keep more students in the classroom for minor behaviors.

Your generous donation will make this dream of a calming corner in our classrooms come true.
