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

Help give my classroom the materials we need to transform a space in our classroom into a calm-down corner. This corner will help students calm down and relax if they are feeling overwhelmed, sad, or frustrated. Students will also use this area to sit in if they need a quiet minute or want to remain calm and happy. Providing a calm-down corner will allow our students to learn about the different emotions they have and how to regulate them. We will use the fidgets and puppets to help students who have trouble focusing, help keep their attention on the lesson.
