Thinking Corner

Help me give my students the sensory materials that can help them achieve their goals. With these materials, I am going to create a "sensory/thinking" corner with a bookshelf and an area to take a mind break.

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

My students are INCREDIBLE, and capable of shooting for the stars. Although it is inevitable that students need a mental break. I will have the Thinking Corner in my classroom that allows the students to take five before returning to their work to lessen the feeling of being overwhelmed and overworked. In a special education classroom, my goal is to ensure the "thinking corner" can continue to nourish the minds of my students while also allowing them to take a breath. This will entail a bookshelf, stools to sit on, and all of the sensory items in my cart. Thank you in advance!
