My Project

I am requesting help with a project for my Pre-K students in our Calming Corner. In Pre-K many of my students have never been out of the care of their families and/or have been around so many of their peers. This makes positive Social-Emotional Development a must!

Our Calming Corner is a safe place for students to sort out their emotions and help them express the emotions they are feeling.

I would love to offer them a cozy place with rugs, books and calming manipulative items to help in that process. Thank you!
