Calm Down Corner

Help me give my students a calming area for them to self regulate. These are tools students can use to practice self regulation.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ilona Brose's classroom raised $225

This project is fully funded

My Project

Everyone gets frustrated or feels sad. Everyday we learn how to cope and practice different strategies, regardless of our age! Students in my classroom require some additional support and practice with self regulation. These are all tools or items that will support their development.

Everyone needs a safe space to self regulate, a calm down zone!

At school especially. Working with other people is difficult, managing your emotions, and students don’t just leave all that goes on outside of school outside! Things happen at home and outside of school that impacts them daily. Support these students in practicing and learning self regulation.
