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
Students are in school for a very long period of time everyday. Some students are even occupied during their lunch period to participate in extra-curricular activities, going to teachers for tutoring, volunteer at the library/college office, or make up work for when they are absent.
In their busy schedule of content-packed classes, it is very important for them to take a moment to sit and let their brain rest.
I would like to create a calming corner at the back of the room with a tea/hot chocolate station; where students can take a minute to enjoy a cup of hot beverage to collect themselves and refresh their mind so they can continue learning with a sharp and focus mind.
Students can easily have access to cold milk, sodas, and energy drinks from corner delis or the cafeteria. But having a warm drink in the middle of the school day at the cozy calming corner can provide a sense of belongingness - just like how school is like their second home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
