Help me give my students the opportunity to unwind in the "calm corner" of our outdoor learning lab with a sensory water fountain among other items, to help them feel at peace.

My Students
The children are encouraged to develop a "think outside the box" mindset, which allows creativity to guide their thinking. Students at my school are curious about the world around them. They are interested in seeking out the answers to their questions by participating in unique learning opportunities. The lessons that the children enjoy most include hands-on activities, which provide memorable, educational experiences and help to create a love of learning.
Students at my school aspire to be world changers and inspire others to contribute positive qualities that add to our school community.
My Project
Now and then, we all need a break. Brain breaks are considered an effective strategy used to lighten students' mental load and can help them to redirect focus and attention back to the task at hand.
My vision is to provide students with the ability to become as "chill as a cucumber" by unwinding and showing off their creativity in the "calm corner" of our outdoor learning lab.
The sensory water fountain will help the children relax as they observe and feel the droplets of water on their hands. They will hear the soothing sound of the water flow while the sweet scent of lavender and rosemary fills the air around them. The children will also have opportunities to create pieces of art on a chalkboard wall, design colorful rock formations, compose calming sounds and paint on various "canvases" (stones, pavers, etc.).
Half of students from low‑income households
