My Project
I hope you’re doing well! As a 3rd-grade teacher, I see firsthand how important it is for students to have a space where they can feel calm, focused, and ready to learn. Sometimes, they just need a moment to reset, and having the right tools can make a big difference.
I’m hoping to create a calming corner in my classroom with supplies like stress balls, noise-canceling headphones, soft lighting, and sensory items to help my students regulate their emotions and stay engaged.
These small additions can have a huge impact on their ability to learn and feel safe in our space.
Thank you for considering this! Your generosity makes a real difference in the lives of young learners.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
