Help me give my students a calming area where they can de-escalate and help manage uncomfortable feelings.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Santana's classroom raised $709
This project is fully funded
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 in need of a calming area equipped with the things they need to be able to manage difficult emotions and de-escalate when having a challenging time. I will be able to utilize games, books, and various activities to assist in teaching students how to calm down and regulate their emotions.
Students in my school are mostly low-income, which make them vulnerable to experiencing high risk experiences in their community.
Many times students experience trauma and having a space where they can calm down and learn coping techniques, can help improve academic success!
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
