Help me give my students a calm corner to go to in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Collins's classroom raised $965

My Students

I have 21 amazing students in my class! They all have very unique personalities. They are artists, mathematicians, scientists, readers and sports players among other things. They all have short-term and long-term goals and I know they will all be so successful.

They can be caught being kind, supporting others and treating each other with respect!

They work very hard and have positive attitudes. They each have something special and unique to bring to our classroom. They deserve any additional support that can be given.

My Project

After the impact of coronavirus on learning this past year these materials will help my students mentally and emotionally.

Now more than ever students need resources and tools to calm their minds and ease their anxieties.

These materials will give my students a safe place to go in our classroom so that they can relax and be ready to learn. My students will be able to self-regulate their breaks through the timers. They will also have a wide variety of tools that they can choose from. These materials will help fulfill my student's basic needs.
