My Project

At my school, we unfortunately have a lot of students who experience trauma. I want to do everything that I can to provide them with a safe, supportive, and calm environment. Before students can learn, they have to be in a mental space to do so. Calm down corners are so important. At my new school, we are it an opportunity corner! I want to provide my kiddos with a space where they can take the opportunity to calm their bodies.They allow a student stop what they’re doing, recognize the need for a break, and then take a few minutes to calm their bodies so that they are in a place where they can learn. Making my calm down corner an inviting and useful space is one of my top goals this year. We need sensory/fidget items and anger management toys to make the opportunity a success!
