A Peace of the Classroom

Help me give my students coping tools in and outside of the classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barlow's classroom raised $313

My Project

I am a first-year school counselor after being a middle school teacher for a decade. I want to provide my students the tools for success and to feel comfortable and safe in my room. I am starting from scratch and trying to build the safe space for my 7th and 8th graders.

I am looking to provide fidgets for my anxious students, helpful posters for students to reflect on, and some place to sit as they calm down.

I know a lot of us had a school counselor in our past that was a great resource for them through tough times. I want to be that counselor for my students and would appreciate any outside support!
