My Project

My students are creative and full of enthusiasm for learning! They love working collaboratively in groups, enjoy a challenge, and make me laugh every day. My third graders are very engaged and come to school excited to learn new things. However, sometimes my students have BIG FEELINGS and need support calming overwhelming feelings.

My classroom of 27 students really needs your help in creating a Calming Area to help students feel safe and comfortable in the classroom.

My project goal is to create a positive calming area in my classroom with Spectator Floor Chairs and Nugget Couch. Overwhelming emotions is something every child experiences during the school year. Emotions can escalate or spiral without self-regulation or tools to help students calm down. Teaching children to use tools to keep themselves in control during emotional situations will help them throughout school life and adulthood. The Calming Area will provide students a safe and welcoming area to escape and deescalate.

The goal is that students use the Calming area independently as a place for self-regulation if BIG FEELINGS are happening.
