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

The items we have selected for my classroom will make our quiet corner a great one. We recently had our room revamped, and we unfortunately did not receive an adequate number of items to furnish our new quiet space. Our students have severe emotional disturbances. Learning tools/fidgets/comfortable seating/ and a place they can de-escalate is crucial to their success. The main goal for this project is to create a space our students are comfortable in, where they can use their strategies to keep calm. Our students are special because although their behaviors can sometimes be difficult, they all have a lot of love in their hearts.
