Help me give my students a calm classroom environment where they can destress and learn vital social and coping skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mays's classroom raised $596

My Project

Life has hit us all hard. The effects of the pandemic are seen daily, especially in the classroom.

My students struggle with various social and emotional disabilities.

Some of the students have regressed and become so anxious that it's a struggle to be successful in the classroom.

My students will utilize these materials in our calm down corner. There, I will provide a cool area with calming sensory objects, snacks, and books that teach social lessons and ways to cope. They will be able to release and relax so they can start again strong.
