FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Reisinger's classroom raised $218

My Project

I am looking forward to a fresh new school year with my first graders and am looking to gather materials to help create a Calming Corner for our classroom. This space is designed to support students’ emotional well-being by providing a quiet area where they can self-regulate, reflect, and reset.

To make the calming corner as effective as possible, we are in need of the following items:

Fidget tools (e.g, stress balls, sensory toys)

Visuals for emotion identification and coping strategies

Books or cards on mindfulness and emotional regulation

Thank you so much for helping me provide a safe, quiet place for my students.
