Pop-Up Pods for Peace: Calming Spaces for Kids (3rd-5th)

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spivey's classroom raised $526

My Project

As an elementary school counselor, I prioritize the social-emotional well-being of our students. Over the past two years, I've supplied calming corner materials for classrooms, creating safe spaces for emotional management. This year, I aim to enhance every classroom calming corner with Pop-Up Pods and need your assistance!

Calming corners are essential for helping students develop self-regulation by providing a space to reset when overwhelmed.

Many students experience sensory overload, anxiety, or frustration, and a cozy, semi-private area can significantly help. Pop-Up Pods offer security and reduce distractions, enabling students to take brief breaks, practice calming strategies, and return to learning focused.

With your support, we hope to acquire 15 Pop-Up Pods—one for each classroom. Your generosity will directly benefit hundreds of students, fostering an environment where they feel seen, heard, and empowered. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to creating a space for emotional regulation and growth. Thank you for supporting our students and making a difference!
