My Project

The goals for this project revolve around creating a designated calming space that supports my students' emotional well-being and enhances their learning experience.

By providing a safe environment where they can manage their feelings, students will be better equipped to handle overwhelming emotions like anxiety and fear.

This space of a privacy cube and soft seats aims to minimize disruptions in the classroom, allowing students to quickly regain their composure and return to learning without missing critical instruction. My students are special because they possess an incredible capacity for empathy and creativity, often expressing profound thoughts and feelings despite their young age. They are resilient tiny humans navigating a complex world, and by fostering an environment that prioritizes emotional health, we empower them to thrive academically and personally.
