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

First year bilingual teacher, I am requesting floor pillows meditation squares, for my students to sit after lunch and have a 5 minutes to recover and get back on the academic content. Students would be able to transition from lunch to the classroom routines. Also I am requesting a shelf storage organizer to keep the students files and assessments, through the year. It is a convenience and the size is perfect for my classroom setting. Following by sensory toy liquid motion pack and two throw pillows; one blue and one red to have on my calming corner, my classroom theme is red and blue due to a bilingual classroom. Students would benefit from the calming corner area a comfortable place away from active areas of the classroom, to practice self-regulation and coping skills using the sensory toy liquid motion and sit with the red and blue soft pillow for a period of time so they can return and re-focus to their normal academic activities.
