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 that I am requesting for my students already have a "home". In other words I know exactly where everything will go. The materials will allow us to create a calm down area . The calming corner materials will help our students calm down and relax when needed. They can play with Legos to calm down. They can also sit or lay on the rug and relax when they are having a hard time.

Our students are in preschool some of them have special education services we are a PCC classroom with 20 students.
