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

Please help me give my students a calming corner to help them refocus. There are so many things going on in children's lives these days. Many of them are still learning how to handle their big feelings. Please help me give them a calming corner to give them the space they need in order to refocus.

I also have dry erase markers on here as we do a lot of practice with page projectors to work on math facts, sight words, and penmanship.

Thank you so much for your consideration!
