SEL and a Calming Corner are Inspiiring the Next Math Students
Help me give my students flexible seating that will help them achieve academic success and SEL awareness in my classroom!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Weitzman's classroom raised $318
This project is fully funded
My Project
One of my goals as a teacher was to create a calming corner for my students to help regulate their emotions as well as have a place for them to destress after a heated exchange with another student or need a place to help them calm down from the everyday stress of being a student. However, the funding in my school has taken away from this opportunity and I hope you can help this amazing cause.
The bean bag chairs will help in designing a calming corner for my students so that they are able to self-regulate their emotions and the posters will be used to help design the calming corner to be especially pleasing for them!
Anything you could give will not only help me but help my students by giving them what they want for this school year. Thank you for all you do and I hope you can help!
