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 project includes resources for a calm corner including a designated carpet, timers, stress balls, and sensory fidget toys. This project is created with the hopes of getting additional materials to improve the learning environment in the classroom.

Being able to create environmental print and display around the room can, at times, be difficult when there aren't enough hooks, magnets, and easel pads.

I would love to fill my students' learning environment with all the print they need to practice regulating their emotions, prepare to learn, and succeed. I'm excited to see how much more they'll grow and learn.
