Calming Area

Help me give my students a place to process, de-escalate and regulate their emotions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Figueroa's classroom raised $990

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I have an amazing group of students who are learning how to manage and self-regulate their emotions. Most of my students are English Language Learners receiving special education services. This highly diverse group of students are excited about learning new strategies that will help them succeed.

As a result of school closures, a lot of my students are experiencing anxiety, amplified emotions, and an inability to manage those emotions.

Help me bring in the necessary materials to help me support them through these challenging time. With your support, I know that together we will be able to better their lives and change the world in a positive way.
