A Comfy Couch for Calming Down

Help me give my students a Comfy Couch for our classroom calm down area.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Walters's classroom raised $1,178

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 am requesting a couch with built in storage and colorful storage bins for my Kindergarten Class.

One of my goals this year is to provide a comfortable area for my students to go when they need to calm down or take a break.

I want my students to have a nice place to calm down while also giving the rest of my students easy and quick access to quiet activities while a student is calming down.

The couch has built in storage for my calm down area materials. The additional baskets I am requesting will help me organize activities for my students to do at their tables while I am helping a child regulate their emotions.
