Calming Corner

Help me give my students a space to calm down in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leticia Monarrez's classroom raised $292

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

I am requesting the Happy Hut Teepee, Lukeight Stuffed Animal Storage Bean Bag Chairs, lava lamp, LEGO Classic Medium Creative Brick Box, and timer to provide a separate space in my kindergarten class for my students to go to calm down. My kindergarten students need a safe space to go to when they feel their emotions are running too high and they need to regain their emotional and physical control. In having this space in the classroom my students can turn to and take a break.

I want to provide this space in my classroom with activities that will relax their mind and body.

My students can go to this space when they need to get some time away from the group and self-regulate.
