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 am a special education teacher for grades K to 3rd. I currently have eight awesome students in my classroom. My students love learning and coming to school. Parents even state that their child dislikes the weekends because there is no school! My students love to interact with peers and participate in all classroom activities. I set high expectations for my students and they always put in 1000% of their effort to meet their goals.

My students are in a Specific Learning Disability class and the majority are English Learners.

It is a MUST that accommodations are provided in order to meet their academic, language, and social emotional needs.

I do my best to set a positive classroom environment where my students feel welcomed and ready to learn. I am one lucky teacher!!

My Project

My students come into the classroom with big feelings, especially with the uncertainty of the pandemic. My students need to be able to process their emotions first in order to continue their learning. My students need the right tools to learn and build on their coping skills.

By giving my students a relaxing calming corner, they will be able to have their own space to process their emotions.

My students will be able to independently use the provided tools to help them regulate their big feelings. These tools will definitely help them be calm and mindful. The tools will aide in their breathing techniques. When my students are ready, they will be able to resume their learning and continue with their day.
