Social Emotional Empowerment

Help me give my students a multi-sensory calm center. An inviting place to create and express their thoughts and emotions. These materials will be a blessing to my kindergartner starting school for the first time.

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

These materials will create an inviting space in our classroom where young students feel welcome and comfortable to think and express their emotions. A beautiful decorative backdrop inspired their creativity and the choice of a soft rug to sit on instead of a chair. A place for students to feel calm, reflect, create, sing, read, and learn about the world around them. For many, it’s their first time in school and being away from the comfort of home. This social-emotional center will bring joy to many deserving students.
