Celebrating 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 brave, bright, and beautifully unique. Many of them carry silent struggles, emotional concerns, disabilities, or social challenges that affect how they learn and connect with others. Still, they show up each day with open hearts and a desire to do their best. I see their strength, even when their emotions feel too big for words.
This project is about giving them a safe space, a calming corner where they can breathe, reset, and feel seen.
I’m requesting soft pillows, calming toys, and Social Emotional Learning books that speak to their experiences. Sensory tools like fidgets, dough mats, stress balls and visual supports will help them regulate and understand their emotions. A printer and lamination film will allow me to make individualized tools like emotion charts, coping strategies, and calm-down visuals that will last throughout the year. Each of these items will be available in a designated calming corner, carefully designed to support all learners, including those with Individualized Education Program, and emotional health challenges.
These resources will help my students feel safe, supported, and ready to engage, not just academically, but emotionally and socially. With your support, I can give them the tools they need to feel empowered, valued, and resilient in the face of everyday challenges.
