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 Students

I love how creative and engaging the students are in SEL activities. We practice SEL on a daily basis and hearing them speak up about empathy, kindness, patience, and acceptance is amazing! I want to create a redirector room that doesn't look like just another classroom. A place for students to explore their feelings and emotions with their whole body. Sensory walls, calming corner, and social-emotional activities that will help regulate the child and get them back into the classroom.

My Project

While the pandemic has disrupted traditional learning for the 20/21 school year, I want to redesign the behavior redirector room in time for the students to return. With the school budget, I have enough to build a sensory wall, repaint, and make a quiet area for students to calm down in. Please help fill my sensory room with items and tools to help students regulate their bodies and emotions so that they may return to their classrooms calm and ready to learn. Please help me transform this BORING and EMPTY room!
