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

Hello,

My goal is to help my students stay calm when they feel frustrated.

Help me supply a safe space with fidgets to help them understand their emotions, but also express their emotions to me and in their journal. These tools will help me promote expression when a student is having a rough day or just needs some time to themselves. Fidgets are a great way to help students not only shift their mindset but stay focused in class. We appreciate anything and the students will truly be happy to add to their calm corner.
