My Project

All of our students want to be able to learn, but in times of stress and anxiety, it almost seems impossible. I am trying to teach my students how to regulate themselves in these moments. Many of my students come from inconsistent homes and homes of stress, and I wanted to create a corner where they can go and have a positive space to calm down. This will be a safe space for students to take a breath and regain emotional control. This will enhance our space and create a safe physical and emotional corner for students to regain control.
