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

Help me give my students a safe and calming environment by establishing a calm corner in our classroom. This dedicated space will be equipped with essential items such as comfortable seating, soothing visuals, and sensory tools to help students manage their emotions and take breaks when needed. By creating a serene and inviting area, I aim to support the emotional well-being of my students, providing them with a place to relax, reflect, and regain focus. Your generous contribution will directly enhance our classroom environment, making it a supportive and nurturing space for all students.
