Peaceful Place, Powerful Learning

Help me give my students the materials for a calming corner because they face daily challenges that can impact their ability to focus and learn. We are also in need of more sanitary items.

My Project

My teaching partner and I are building a calming corner area in our classrooms so that students have easy access to a space to self-regulate. When students are calm, they are able to advocate for themselves and participate in more active learning. This donation project is focused on creating a calming corner in our classroom—a dedicated space where students can go to self-regulate, manage emotions, and regain focus in a safe, supportive environment. Many of these students face sensory, emotional, or behavioral challenges that make learning difficult without tools to help them cope. By providing materials such as sensory items, fidget tools, soft seating, and calming books, this project will empower students to develop healthy coping skills and improve their ability to engage in learning. Your support will help create a space that promotes emotional wellness, reduces classroom disruptions, and supports every student’s journey toward success.
