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 Students

My students are 6th through 8th graders with a range of disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorder and Emotionally Disturbed. These are the students most in need of the services and support our Therapeutic Learning Center can offer. Emotional issues are what bring these students to my classroom.

Many of my students are unable to focus for an entire day and require access to the wellness room during therapy, assessments, and social learning to assist these students in meeting grade-level requirements.

Without the ability to access a calming environment they do not make progress in any subject. This sets them back from their peers socially and academically.

My Project

My project will give students access to a safe space, where they are able to decompress. This wellness room will furnish students, who are not in programing, a place for reflection and allow them an opportunity to refocus. Often, my students' behavior affects the students around them. Having access to a separate, calming wellness room will give these students an opportunity to reconnect, then rejoin the classroom.

Behavior issues are a common thread for all students in my classroom.

Students would be ready to return to the general population, ready to learn. Because these students are now in control and ready to learn, all in the classroom can now benefit from the lesson being taught.
