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

This year I am focusing on expanding my classroom library and making my calm corner a more welcoming place. These items are a must have to create an inviting space where students feel safe and comfortable.

My goal is to create a cozy and welcoming space where students feel safe to explore and manage their emotions through books and sensory items.

My students are curious , kind, and full of energy. They love learning, helping each other out, and exploring new things.

Different types of seating options will make a big difference by helping students stay comfortable and focused while reading or calming down. The soft seating also encourages students to use the library and the calm down corner more often, which helps build strong reading habitats and emotional awareness.
