Help me give my students a calming and safe place where they can learn to process difficult feelings in healthy ways.

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
The tools and materials that I am requesting are to help create a safe and calm space to help students work through difficult feelings and emotions.
Students often experience difficulties focusing or exhibit disruptive behaviors that can impact their learning due to trauma, environmental stressors, and other social emotional barriers.
The calming area will allow students to address and process difficult feelings and emotions to ensure they are ready to learn. Students will also learn how to utilize healthy coping skills and tools to work through their difficult feelings in a healthy manner.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
