Staying Cool and Calm

Help me give my students resources to help them calm down and stay focused on their learning

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shoichet's classroom raised $241

This project is fully funded

My Project

Being a kid is tough. These calm down corner items will help my fourth graders with their BIG feelings! There are items for calming down and soothing their anxiety. Calming strips can be used to help students soothe their anxieties. Noise canceling headphones help students to re-regulate when they experience big emotions or are overwhelmed by ambient noises.

These calm down corner items will help my fourth graders with their BIG feelings.

These interactive learning tools will enhance our review activities and give the students easier access to the different options they can “play” with to learn! Help me make my instruction more hands on to engage the students while learning. Thank you!
