Celebrating 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
My students are eager learners. They are learning how to self-regulate, but sometimes need a little extra help in getting there. My students come from many different backgrounds, but some have even had some trauma. I want to provide a safe space within a safe space for my students who just need that little extra. The weighted stuffy will provide close comfort. The small emotion dots will allow students to take their time in. Identifying their feelings while utilizing a fidget time to help get them back on track.
Please help me create a comforting space that my students can use whenever they need to take a calming moment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
