Help me give my students a calming area with carpet, floor cushions, and weighted lap pads that will help allow them to be aware of their own emotions.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My classroom is an inclusive setting where we implement instruction for students with special needs and their typically developing peers. My students are curious and eager to learn. Instruction is differentiated based on individual needs and students are encouraged to follow their interests in learning. Will you help me in providing a calming area for my students? I would like to create a safe space where my students can retreat to when they feel overwhelmed and overloaded by the sensory input from the immediate environment. We need a carpet, floor cushions, and weighted lap pads. The calming area gives them time and space to calm their sensory systems and regulate their emotions. The comforting objects and soothing materials will promote mindfulness, breathing and reflection.
Thank you for considering to donate to my project.
