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

A cozy area for my classroom is a need. My students are two to three year old's.

They are learning and experiencing how to regulate their feelings and emotions in a safe classroom setting.

Social-Emotional learning is a big part of the preschool program. Having a Grass Green Area Rug, Floor Cushion, and Feelings Chart and Keep Calm Posters will invite students to relax in the area. At moments the classroom does get loud so this is why Safety Ear Muffs for Children will be needed. Please help me give my students a calming area.
