Calming Corner

Help me give my students a space to calm down and redirect their behaviors.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Banks's classroom raised $247

This project is fully funded

My Project

The donations for this project will be used for students who need a space to calm their minds and bodies. Students will be able to use this space to de-escalate in heightened situations. I will use coloring books and crayons to redirect their focus. I will use the fidgets to take their minds off what made them upset. The Plus Plus Open Play Set will be used to build things to help calm them. The magnet tiles will be used for problem-solving and increasing fine motor skills. Puzzles will be used to redirect their energy.
