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

All students need a place they can go to relax, express their feelings and feel safe. I want to create a safe environment that helps students when they are having a hard time self regulating. I want to create a environment where student can express how they feel throughout the day by using the chart. Or if they need time to themselves they can explore sensory manipulatives. Using a calming bulletin board will help keep the area calm and neutral. Supporting our younger learner with a safe space in the classroom helps them to self regulate, identify self awareness, and promotes a postive way to expresss their feelings.
