Relieving the Stress from Covid in My Classroom

Help me give my students a place to destress in my Calming Corner. I would love to give my students the sensory relaxing feel of the sand with a Zen garden and a table just their size.

My Students

My students have a variety of special needs. They struggle to read, write and do everyday tasks that others don't think twice about. Yet they are here every day with a smile on their cute little faces ready to learn.

They come from a variety of different places, single-parent homes, living with grandparents and parents just struggling to survive due to Covid.

We love and care for them wherever they come from.

My students need to have a calming corner to relieve the stress they sometimes carry to school or have at school. I want to give them the space that they can calm down when they are having a rough day. I have already started this project but need more supplies.

I also need a reliable printer/scanner so I don't have to walk over to the building each time to scan in my signed documents and print out IEP's and confidential papers. This would save me time so I can spend it planning for my students.

My Project

I have already started a calming corner in my classroom. Working with special needs students every day, I have many students who come in and just need time to get grounded. My students need sensory input to help them release the stress they feel throughout the day. Sometimes they get overstimulated in the general education classroom and just need a little time to calm down.

The teacher also needs less stress.

And by this, I mean working equipment. If I could get a printer/ scanner that I could have in my room so I don't have to go to the main building to scan my important documents for the students' file, it would give me less stress and more time to plan for my students. I could get my work done in half the time it takes me to run to the main building every time I have a document I have to scan to the printer.
