Help me give my students a safe space where they can take a break, manage big emotions, and refocus. Thank you in advance for your help in creating a safe environment for all!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. White's classroom raised $305
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
What I love most about my students is their resilience, kindness, and the joy they bring into our classroom each day. Like all young children, they are still learning how to understand and manage big emotions. My goal is to create that environment for them, along with tools that help them grow emotionally and thrive both in and out of the classroom.
To support this, I’m creating a calming corner—a dedicated space in the classroom where students can go to regulate their emotions in a healthy, safe way.
This space will include a small rug, pillow, and bookshelf to create a cozy, welcoming area. I’ll add calming posters and a visual breathing light to guide students through mindfulness techniques. Fidget toys and liquid motion timers will offer quiet, sensory-based tools to help them focus and reset. Each item is chosen with intention to support self-regulation and emotional well-being.
More than half of students from low‑income households
