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

Studnets often need a safe place in the classroom where they feel comfortable to express their emotions. This area can be used to use self regulating techniques such as breathing exercises or to just read a book.

These resources will help give my students a safe, quiet place to regulate their emotions.

The bean bags will give students a comfortable place to sit and relax while reading. I believe that a classroom should be a special place for students, where they come in everyday knowing that they are loved and welcomed.
