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

I want my students to feel comfortable in the classroom. I also want to help them learn ways to calm themselves, to know what to use, and to know where to go. This is going to take different items. They will have access to weighted stuffed animals, a fiber optic lamp, and sand art to watch. These animals will give them a pressure that will give them a sense of comfort, like a hug. This helps with breathing and anxiety.

Learning how to control breathing is a way to self soothe.

Students will have access to breathing strips. With these strips they run their finger on the sticker while counting and working on breathing. Finally, the lamps will give them a point of focus if they are needing another way to calm down.
