Help me give my students a calm corner in our classroom. This space will nurture the students' well being and enhance their learning experience through a supportive environment where they can learn about and manage their emotions.

Celebrating 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 calm corner for kids is a sanctuary designed to support emotional regulation and learning in the classroom:
Emotional support is vital for children's learning and development because it nurtures their emotional well-being, supports healthy brain development, enhances social skills, reduces stress, and ultimately creates a positive and effective learning environment.
It lays the foundation for lifelong emotional intelligence and resilience.
Imagine a cozy nook with soft pillows and blankets, tucked away from the bustle of the classroom. It's decorated with soothing colors and simple decorations, like calming pictures or plants. Here, kids can retreat when feeling overwhelmed or upset. It's a safe space where they learn to manage their emotions through deep breaths or quiet activities, like drawing or reading.
By having this dedicated space, kids develop essential self-regulation skills. They can return to the classroom feeling calmer and more focused, ready to engage in learning activities effectively.
Overall, the calm corner nurtures emotional well-being and enhances learning by providing a supportive environment where kids can manage their feelings and thrive academically.
More than half of students from low‑income households
