Calm Corner to Promote Self Regulation

Help me give my students a place to calm down! We were blessed this school year with a new, bigger space that allows us to have to a calm corner and want to make it comfy and calming!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Billingsley's classroom raised $494

My Project

This school year, our school's support staff were given a new space that has enough room to have a corner dedicated to self-regulation. We are hoping to fill this space with a beautiful rug, relaxing chairs, twinkle lights, a book shelf to hold books that promote self-regulation and a few other calming items. By helping us fulfill this project, you will be helping us to create a space that is welcoming to all students and gives them a safe space here at school to regulate and thus return back to class to be more successful in the classroom.
