Calm Our Minds and Body in the Grizzly Den

Help me give my students a calm relaxing space to take a break.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Yaden's classroom raised $320

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Grizzly Den is a calm space for students that need. The lights requested will help create the calm relaxing ambiance we need. We need new beans for the bean bags in our reading corner.

When a student comes into the Den he/she lets us know why he/she needs a break.

Then he/she picks an activity to do for 5 minutes. After the break is over we talk about how they feel.

We hope that our students will learn how to identify and regulate their feelings. The books and activities requested will be very helpful.
