The One Where We Create a Safe Place

Help me give my students a calming way to relax using positive affirmation coloring books and colored pencils that will provide an outlet for them to self-regulate while using wobble stools that will enable them to focus and pay attention.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mangus's classroom raised $985

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Many parents are still attempting to recover financially and many supplies that would help a student feel successful are not priority supplies. My students are coming to me with gaps in their learning as well as socialization skills. During the pandemic, students missed out on the opportunity to socialize and regulate their emotions. My students are struggling to self-regulate and many suffer from poor self-images, which in turn, cause disruptions in the classroom and time off task.

The requested materials will help my students regulate their emotions through meditative coloring and provide materials like extra pencils, scissors, markers, or colored pencils to promote a sense of pride in the classroom.

The wobble stools will help students focus, limit distractions for other students in the classroom, and promote successful learning.
