Teaching Self Regulation

Help me give my students the tools and strategies to regulate their emotions.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cruz's classroom raised $706

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for all students. We're requesting funds to create a calming corner where students can relax, de-stress, and recharge. This space will be equipped with sensory tools and comfortable seating to help students manage anxiety and focus on their learning.

With your support, we'll be able to purchase bean bag chairs:

weighted lap pads and sensory tools that provide a calming and grounding sensation. They need visual timers to help manage their time and reduce anxiety. Fidget toys will provide sensory stimulation and promote relaxation. Soft, squishy balls can help students relieve stress and tension.

Stretchy chair bands can help fidgety students stay focused.

Chewable pencil toppers help students who chew on things stay engaged.

By creating this calming corner, we're providing our students with the tools and resources they need to succeed in school. Your generosity will make a significant difference in their lives and help them reach their full potential.

Thank you for your support!
