My Project

These materials will be used to create a calming corner in my room. This will help students that are in emotional distress have a safe place to go. It will also be used to help all of my students. This calming corner will be used in my classroom to help students identify and regulate what they are feeling and what they are experiencing. Students at this time are in desperate need of social and emotional learning this will help me to achieve my goal of teaching students about these things.
