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 materials I am requesting is for a group of students who genuinely deserve it. These students are hard-working and busy bodies that would benefits from these materials.

All of these materials would help me create a cozy area where the students can regain their emotional and physical control and provide tools that engage them in mindful activities such as legos and drawing.

My classroom absolutely loves to draw and build, any chance the students get any free time they love to work with their classmates. I believe setting up this calming area will greatly benefit the students and create a warm classroom environment.
