Calming Area

Help me give my students a rocking chair, and other items to create a calming area in our classroom where they can learn calming strategies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Herrera's classroom raised $647

This project is fully funded

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

Please help me create a calming area in our classroom where my students can build skills and learn ways to de-escalate. My wonderful students are enthusiastic learners, and they would love a space that they can use to help them regulate their emotions.

The cushions and rocking chair will help my student learn and practice calming strategies that they can use to be aware of their emotions.

Creating this calming area will help my students build skills that they can use throughout their educational career and beyond. Thank you.

Ms. Herrera Glassell Park Elementary S.T.E.A.M. Magnet Grades PreK-2
