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

This project will help create a calming area for my first-grade students with resources to help calm their feelings.

This calming corner, with flexible seating, will serve as a safe place for my students to go to when they feel their emotions are running too high and need to regain their emotional and physical control.

Our project includes wobble stools, bubble wands, crayons, colored pencils, and modeling clay to help my little learners learn to control and understand their emotions. These tools and resources will help my students build their skills by engaging in mindful activities like journaling, drawing, and creating. They will learn to become aware of how using their minds to do creative and mindful activities can help regulate their emotions. These wobble seats will also be placed in our calming corner for students to regain focus.

Thank you for supporting our calming corner project.
