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

Most items in this project will be placed in our current calming corner. Our calming corner is a safe space where students who need support regulating emotions can go to have a mindful moment but ours currently needs a little sparkle of joy. Our current calming corner has a feeling chart and a poster board where students can doodle and share their current feelings when they visit it.

The items in this project will help make the calming corner a welcoming safe space, rather than just a corner of the classroom.

Students in this class love plushies and I think the couple in this project if funded will help put a smile on student faces.

The ink colored printer in this project that would stay in the classroom would help me print out motivational posters as little reminders of how amazing my students are and that we do hard things in vibrant colors (our staff room only has black ink). It will also allow me to print out bilingual labels with pictures for items around the classroom as I have many Spanish speaking students and Spanish speaking only as well.
