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 Special Education Teacher of multiple grades many of my students struggle with anxiety and stressful situations which lead to less time for work. Last year we had a make shift calming corner with one bean bag, which worked well, but only for one student. Along with arguments over the bean bag and space.

This year, with your help, I intend to make the corner more functional for more students.

This corner will be able to be used by multiple students to relax and calm down while either reading a book, or using some of the other tools they have been taught. It will help lead to less anxious moments in the class, and less stress and (hopefully) more teaching time.
