Calming Corner

Help me give my students a versatile and cozy corner where they can take a moment to recharge, regulate their emotions, or simply enjoy a quiet place to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Debbie's classroom raised $210

This project is fully funded

My Project

A Calming Corner will support my students’ social-emotional development by providing a safe space where they can express their emotions freely while still feeling loved, accepted, and nurtured.

In this space, they will not only find comfort but also learn valuable strategies for managing their feelings and building resilience.

It’s a place where emotional growth and learning go hand in hand, and every child knows they matter.

This calming corner will support their social-emotional development while also encouraging a love for an independent reading space. Your generosity will help create a safe, welcoming environment where every child feels seen, supported, and ready to learn.

Thank you for considering this meaningful addition to our classroom!
