Relaxed Minds for a Better Learning Outcome

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

Please allow me to have access to these social-emotional learning materials that will be used inside the classroom to support all students during lesson time and in our peace corner, which is a designed space for students to find calm-down strategies to allow them to find tools and strategies that can support them to regulate their emotions, breath, and gain refocus so they can return to learning time and find joy in learning. These floor cushions, fidget tubes, and other materials can help students regain interest in learning and focus on their learning goals so they can reach their full academic potential.
