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

Social Emotional Learning is an important part of my student's growth. A healthy mind is important for academic learning at any age. Providing them with a calming area, dot art painters, a magnetic easel, and calming books to express their feelings is essential during this overwhelming and difficult time.

A welcoming and safe calming area will provide my students with a space that is free to express their feelings and emotions.

A classroom calming area will provide my students with books, materials, and resources to self-manage and regulate their emotions so they can be productive and successful leaner.
