Calming Zone for Pre-School

Help me give my students a safe place to develop emotionally and socially.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Munoz's classroom raised $981

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

A Cuddly Puppy Weighted Shoulder Wrap will provide them with comfort and a warm hug. The calming colors of the star bean bags can help them relax and center themselves. The soft, safe Building Blocks help them with math skills such as counting.

Creating an environment where my students feel safe and loved is essential to developing their social and emotional skills, and different sensory items can alleviate stress.

Oral sensory chew toys and ocean water play mats can provide a flexible learning environment indoors. The rattles can promote cognitive milestones.

This calming zone with items such as an Indoor/Outdoor 3-In-1 Chair Set will be a stepping stone for preschoolers with special needs to have a long-lasting positive experience in school.
