Calming Corner

Help me give my students a calm corner to help self regulate emotions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mitchell's classroom raised $264

This project is fully funded

My Project

Providing a safe space for our children who might have a stressful learning moment to decompress for a few minutes is very important for kindergarteners. I want to teach our little ones to self regulate their emotions with our calming corner items listed. Each item will help our children learn positive ways to manage their emotions so they can have a successful future. The bean bag chair, alphabet rug, emotion tokens( helps identify their emotions), breathing koalas( for breathing and time limit) and weighted cat will all help with this process. Thank you.
