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

To foster a nurturing learning environment, I am excited to develop a Calming Corner with carefully chosen resources designed to support their emotional and educational needs.

The Delta Children Cozee Flip-Out Sherpa Convertible Sofa and Delta Children Cozee Sherpa Chair will offer comfortable, flexible seating that invites relaxation and focus.

These pieces create a cozy retreat where students can calm down or refocus, promoting emotional well-being and a positive learning attitude.

The multitude of tactile materials in addition to the soft furnishings will create a calming atmosphere that captures their imagination and establishes a peaceful environment.

This tranquil space will help students feel secure and focused while developing their social-emotional and self-regulation skills.
