Time Saved, Calm Gained Can Make a Big Difference

Help me give my students materials for their calming corner such bean bag and rug. Help me also to create materials by having our own printer in the classroom so we can save valuable instructional time.

My Project

My exceptional students need a place to calm down when they are frustrated and need to breathe. The calm corner with the rug and bean bag chair will give my students a soft space to regroup when overwhelmed that can turn a possible meltdown into a moment of calm. The printer saves valuable time that I lose walking to the shared printer, allowing me to make materials tailored to their needs exactly when needed. Additionally, EC students often need materials adapted to their individual goals like modified worksheets, visual schedules, communication support, and sensory activities. With your support you will help my students to have calmer classroom and you will give them more chances to succeed. Thank you for investing in my students.
