My Students
My amazing middle school students are smart, creative, spontaneous, and full of a love of learning! They come to school each day with lots of questions about the world around them. Whether working on math problems or conducting science experiments, my students love to learn by doing.
Our school serves many military families from the nearby Air Force base, a Navy EOD school, and an Army Special Forces cantonment.
We are in a unique area to have military families from so many different branches of service. Because of the challenges of military life, my students are resilient and hard-working.
My Project
Sometimes students need help regulating their bodies and minds, especially at school. When a person is in a calm and safe state of mind the brain can focus and be able to succeed.
The Peace Room will be filled with tools to help students regulate, relax, focus, and calm down.
The area will be created to be a calming place where students can go when they are feeling stressed, struggling with a difficult situation emotionally, or just need a place to manage their feelings. It will contain different activities students can use as self-management tools that will help them understand their behavior and refocus.
The Peace Room will give students a space to self-regulate which will increase their ability to learn in the classroom. It will provide a calming, safe, and supportive place to foster their academic and social-emotional health. They can develop skills that they can use outside of school to benefit their well-being such as self-awareness, resiliency, and self-care.
