Madame’s Mental Health and Calming Corner

Help me give my students a mental health break and calming corner in our classroom equipped with fidget toys and other activities for social emotional learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Krautler's classroom raised $479

My Project

I hope to use these fidget toys and calming toys to create a space in my classroom for students who are experiencing anxiety.

My goal is to make my classroom a more comfortable learning environment for my students with the addition of this new calming corner.

Students will undoubtedly enjoy these fidgets and calming toys aimed at improving social emotional learning.

My students come to school with a lot of baggage and could use a space to calm, re-center, and help focus on our classroom tasks. It’s amazing how even high school students enjoy a good fidget toy!
