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

The classroom can be overwhelming for some students and they are in need of a place where they can go to quietly read and reset themselves. Studies have shown the increase of social emotional needs. Many classrooms are in need of a place where students can go in the classroom and shut off everything else in the classroom.

Many of my diverse learner students are the most in need of a calm place when they are feeling overly stimulated.

In my classroom I hope to provide students this place where they feel safe and comfortable. Please help us create a calming place.

Ms. Acevedo
Grades 3-5
