My Project

Our classroom full of energetic, diverse, lovely little learners that need a calm, inviting space to help them regulate and learn about emotions. Many kids that pass through our rooms have sensory issues and need a calm inviting environment so they can thrive.

My all time goal is to have a safe, calm classroom for all learners to thrive.

The jellyfish tank will go in our calm space to amp up classroom interest. The acoustic foam wall will create a comfortable, calm and welcoming area that highlights the sensory tools and calming techniques that the calm chill corner have to offer.

Thank you for being part of our classroom family by supporting my lovely little learners.
