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

Help me add chairs for my Comfort Corner because it is vital to have a welcoming classroom where students feel safe and know that they are part of a community of people who care about their emotional state. It is important for me to have a Comfort Corner in my class to establish a rapport with my students from day one.

The chairs will help create an inviting space for the students to work on their assignments.

The fidget toys help some of my students calm down if they are not feeling well.
