Serenity Space: A Cozy Corner for Calm and Creativity
Help me give my students an area where they may feel like they have a home away from home in my classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Riojas's classroom raised $492
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
Incorporating a serenity corner for my students will help create a sense of safety. Overall, it should help facilitate learning since the warm lighting of the lamp will calm any nervous thoughts or feelings of anxiety. The bean bag chairs will provide comfort for students to sit down and relieve any tension. Relaxing their bodies and their minds helps them reset and focus. The area rug will be plush enough to help students' feet relax since many of our nerve endings are located at the bottom of our feet. The oil diffuser will be utilized to calm the air in my classroom so that students may decongest, feel happier, and/or relaxed. I want to make my room inviting so that students feel welcomed and willing to learn.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
