My Project
I would like to create a calming corner- a dedicated space in my classroom designed to provide a peaceful environment where students can take a moment to relax, recharge and regain emotional balance.
This space would be equipped with items that promote mindfulness, reduce stress, and support emotional well being.
In our fast-paced world, it is more important than ever to have a space where students can find peace, quiet and balance.
Whether a student needs a break from a busy classroom, a bad start to the day, upset over an incident with another student, overwhelmed with emotions they don't understand, or dealing with stress at home or in the classroom, students are often looking for a brief escape.
I am seeking donations for my little Kinders, so they have a warm place to go to help them regulate their frustrations in a safe environment so they can recenter and return to learning. Creating a welcoming place with a rug, a weighted stuffed animal, sensory toys, sand timer and other anxiety relief items will help students feel calmer, refreshed and better prepared to gain the assurance and confidence needed to understand, validate and cope with big emotions.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
