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

As a teacher, it can be challenging to not only help kids learn but also to support their emotional wellness. A calming corner (or peace corner, reset zone, calming space, calm-down corner, etc.) is a safe, designated spot in the classroom where students can go to regroup when they are experiencing strong emotions or simply need a break.

Calming corners are reset spaces that provide kids an opportunity to be more aware of how they feel and to practice managing their emotions in healthy ways.

A calming space doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective; it simply needs to be comfortable and inviting. These items like something comfortable to sit on will help students to relax. Having something to squeeze, hold or manipulate can help students work out tension in their body or feel comforted (e.g., stress balls, fidget spinners, pinwheels, or reversible sequin pillows).
