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

We are the school counselor and school psychologist and are creating a Calm Down Corner in our office for our students. We are an elementary school (Kindergarten through 5th grade) in Providence, Rhode Island. We are an inner-city school. The social-emotional needs of our students are high. Often times, they can get overwhelmed in class and have difficulty regulating their emotions. These materials will give our students a safe space to calm down when they are having an emotional moment and need to take a break from their classroom. This space will allow them to help self-regulate their emotions.
