My Students
I teach students with emotional disturbances and behavior disorders in a self-contained classroom. Some also have learning disabilities. A lot of my students come from disadvantaged backgrounds. My classroom is often the only opportunity they have to unwind and utilize relaxation techniques to minimize inappropriate behaviors.
All students deserve the opportunity to have a safe place to relax, refocus, and renew, including in special education, self-contained classrooms.
My students often are in need of healthy ways to process stressors and difficult emotions. This area in my classroom will give them a safe place to work on emotional regulation.
My Project
The materials I am requesting will help my students who have behavior challenges. My students have IEPs and receive additional supports, and these materials will be some of those supports. These supplies will also act as a reinforcement for appropriate behaviors. The materials and supplies will be used for an R&R area. The textured carpet will be at the back of the classroom with two chairs and a small table. It will include mood lighting and power strips and common chargers for charging student phones. To help with anxiety and ADHD it will also include a Himalayan salt lamp, Zen garden, Bluetooth speaker for calming music, worry stones, stress relievers such as squishy and stretchy balls, an essential oils diffuser, coloring books, and other mystery and logic puzzle books.
The donations will provide my students with an area to refocus, relax and renew.
They will be able to resolve and relieve stress and tension, which often contribute to behaviors. Being able to rejuvenate and redirect in a safe place will help set them up for success in the general education setting.
