My Project

Students sometimes just need a calming space to collect their thoughts and calm their emotions before any other needs can be met, especially learning. This is why my project is so important to not only me but my school.

Help me continue to supply my office, as well as classrooms, with some calming tools that will help students in all grade levels.

This will allow the students to be able to calm themselves so then learning can take place. Any contribution to this project will be greatly appreciated by the students, teachers and myself.

Ms. Sanders
Grades 9-12
