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

My students are 2 to 4 years old they are very interesting at this age group and are learning how to regulate their behavior and emotions. I want to be able an create a "Calming Area" for our children. We service low income families. Our children are very young and learning how to maneuver the world around them. Creating a Calming Area it will benefit our children and impact them in a positive way for example if they are feeling angry, upset or just not feeling well we can relax in this soothing area.
