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 growing and learning every day through hands-on materials and activities. The "Me Time" calm area will help my students develop their social-emotional skills and communicate their feelings.
Communicating feelings is important because it helps them self-regulate, interact with others, and express their emotions.
The "Me Time" calm area will become an essential space where the students will learn to control and adapt their social-emotional behaviors inside and outside our classroom. This will influence their social and emotional interactions with others in the future and lead to positive outcomes.
More than three‑quarters 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
