Creating a Calm Corner for Student Success

Help me give my students a calming space to succeed, learn and grow.

Mrs. Kalisha McNair McNair Elementary School

Browns Summit, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

Every student deserves a classroom where they feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

This project will help create a calming space where students can practice self-regulation, manage their emotions, and return to learning with confidence.

The requested classroom supplies, cleaning materials, and teacher laptop accessories will also help maintain an organized, welcoming environment while supporting engaging instruction.

Together, these resources will strengthen both academic success and social-emotional learning, giving students the tools they need to thrive every day, while building confidence, resilience, independence, positive relationships, and a lifelong love of learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
