Calm, Regulated Kids Learn & Grow!

Help me give my students social and emotional supports to create a calming corner in my special education classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Weiser's classroom raised $707

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom serves the diverse needs of students who have moderate to significant cognitive impairments. My goal is to create a positive place in my classroom that students can use to regulate their emotions while feeling safe and cared for. When my students are regulated and ready to learn they can access the curriculum and make meaningful progress.

Creating a calming corner within our special education classroom will greatly enhance our classroom community.

Incorporating inclusive teaching materials, bean bags, calming visuals, and fidget items, we will foster an environment where every student feels supported and empowered.

When my students are regulated and calm, they can do incredible things! I can not wait to see what opportunities this will bring them!
