Create a Calming Room

Help me give my students access to sensory materials so that I can create a safe and calming area within the classroom for them to take a break when they are feeling overwhelmed in the classroom.

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 Students

My students are amazing and kind-hearted individuals of all ages an abilities. My students have disabilities ranging from Autism, intellectual disabilities, and orthopedic impairments, but they don't let that stop them from working hard to conquer new challenges and activities every single day.

My Project

These materials will make it so that I can create a calming area in my classroom for students. It's important to have a designated area for them to go to when they are stressed out or feeling overwhelmed so that they can practice appropriate calming strategies and maintain safe and appropriate behaviors in the classroom. My students range in abilities and have behavioral and social deficits, but with a calming area in the classroom, I can work with them to teach them appropriate calming strategies instead of engaging in challenging behaviors that can be disruptive to their learning.
