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

This upcoming 2024-2025 school year will be my first year as a K/1 ELA-S classroom teacher. I would love to give my students a safe place, a quiet corner. A teepee seems to be a great idea as a quiet corner. In our school, a safe place for students to regulate their emotions whenever they need it is essential. I want to provide my students with all the resources and sensory elements so that they self-regulate and are prepared to learn in the most appropriate way possible. That is why I ask for your donations to achieve this goal. I thank you very much in advance since you will not only help me in my first year of teaching but also my students.
