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
Many of my students experience stress and intense emotions throughout the day, and having a classroom that feels peaceful and thoughtfully designed can make all the difference. Calming wall decals and a small, calming-colored rug will enhance the learning environment for my kindergarten students with special needs. A calm space tailored for neurodiverse students, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), offers significant benefits in creating supportive and conducive learning environments.
Appropriate calming areas help neurodiverse students focus better on tasks and learning activities.
For students with sensory sensitivities, a calming space can be crucial for managing overwhelming environments and promoting a sense of control. Appropriate calming areas help neurodiverse students focus better on tasks and learning activities.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
