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

Many students need a calm and safe place to regulate their emotions when escalated. Creating a specific area with tools that allow students to calm their senses and stem freely will aid in student regulation. With this space, it will allow students to regulate more quickly and reintegrate back into the classroom with less learning lost.

I plan to use the spin chairs for students who seek that sensory need to regulate their bodies.

I plan to use the yoga mats for small group yoga time to teach students breathing techniques as well as how to listen to their bodies needs and wants. The Needoh is a perfect fidget for students who need something in their hands to calm and regulate.
