Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $291

Creating a Calming Middle School Classroom

Help me give my students an organized space that meets their unique needs.

Mrs. Smith South Charlotte Middle School

Charlotte, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

My students are a diverse group of learners who all have different learning styles and needs.

Our classroom is a community, and we share resources.

My students would benefit from new resources that will help regulate their emotions and meet sensory needs. I want to create a calm and soothing environment for my students so that they feel cozy and safe and are able to perform at their best. The lamps will help with the harsh lighting in the classroom so that the overhead lights can be shut off at times. The standing desk gives a flexible seating option. The sensory items will help students regulate their emotions and focus as needed.
