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

I'm starting a new job at a different school this year, working in a transition classroom with 5-7 students with high social-emotional and behavioral needs. I want to create a warm and welcoming environment. The rug will help bring a calming presence to our circle time and replace our old carpet. Flexible seating options will allow students to work comfortably throughout the day, especially since many of them can't sit at a desk for long periods. We have various tables, both sitting and standing, for those who need movement or options. These seats will let students sit comfortably on the floor to work. The sensory path in the hallway will provide all students in the school with a chance to take movement breaks when needed. It gives students various options to manage their emotions so they can return to class ready to learn.
