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

My students are very active and eager to learn new things, while they are doing that they can a hard time regulating their emotions in certain situations. When they are feeling these emotions we have them take a break in our calm down corner. We have recently moved into a new classroom and had to adjust our corner and all the materials and visuals we had. In the classroom it is a much larger space but lacking storage and is very open. So would like to create a new space to in the class to meet their needs.

With these new SEL manipulatives and visuals, such as the books, it can really help the students when they are in need of regulating their emotions.

The organizers will also help to make things more manageable in the classroom and allow for them to have access to items for when they need them. Also, included books as some of my students use that as a way to calm down.
