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

Our school has an amazing population of students from all backgrounds and cultures. We have a large number of students who learn differently and we provide amazing programs and support to make their academic experience successful. However, for many scholars, the everyday noise and busy atmosphere of the typical middle school hallway can be overwhelming and difficult.

We need a sensory hallway full of engaging, calming activities, stored in the requested bench, to help these students refocus and reconnect.

A sensory hallway creates a safe place for a brain break. Materials such as sequin panels, a mirror, and hopscotch trails allow students a chance to discharge energy without disrupting others. Liquid tiles and sensory mats promote stretching and breathing. We hope this sensory hallway will help our students return to their classrooms ready to learn.
