Help me give my students a calm corner for our exceptional learners with a FUSUNBAO 7-Cube Style Bookshelf, a Trademark Innovations 30.5" Wood Curved Lap Desk Table, and the UBBCARE Set of 3 Storage Cubes.

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our special education classroom is a place where students work hard every day to meet their academic and social-emotional goals. Many of our students face challenges that can be overwhelming, and having a safe, quiet space to regroup is essential. We are seeking support to create a Calm Corner—a designated space where students can self-regulate, calm down, and return to learning ready to succeed.

This Calm Corner will include:

A safe space for students to reset, refocus, and thrive.

Helping students manage emotions with a calm, supportive classroom space.

Creating a peaceful corner where students can self-regulate and succeed.

A calming area to support emotional growth and learning focus.

Peaceful corner equips students with tools for emotional self-regulation.

Why This Matters:

When students have a safe place to reset, it reduces classroom disruptions, supports emotional growth, and helps them build the self-regulation skills they need not just in school but in life.

Our students deserve a space where they feel safe, supported, and empowered.
