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

Having a sensory/calming area would be so beneficial to my students learning and self regulation. It can also help minimize any distractions or disruptions to instruction time by not having to leave the classroom. It can also maximize self advocacy by having the student identify and recognize the need for a break.

The school day can be overwhelming for some of my students, and if they had a designated place where they could decompress and refocus, it would help them regain their emotional balance.

A calming corner can give my students the dignity they deserve and a safe space where they can do what they need to feel better.
