They love being in the calming corner and truly have benefitted from a safe and calm space to regulate and relax that is all theirs. They beamed with joy the day they walked into my classroom and out calming corner was transformed. \r\nThere have been so many moments where I've almost been brought to tears because of how helpful it is to have this space in my classroom. Every day, my students use my calming corner to take breaks when their emotions get out of the green zone. I have taught many lessons sitting in my calming corner with a student who is coming down from the red zone and they use our fidgets and lay on our pillows. \r\nBefore I begin instruction during my intervention groups, we have a two minute fidget break where my students chat about how they're feeling while using our brain break tools. \r\nI cannot express enough how grateful I am to have received this gift. Thank you so much for helping make my classroom a more calm and regulating space.","fullyFundedDate":1787163683587,"projectUrl":"project/special-education-teachers-first-year-/10477682/","projectTitle":"Special Education Teacher's First Year & First Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Holland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10590673"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52295","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":394,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":52295,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Grace Jordan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Grace Jordan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/independent-school-district-of-boise-city-1/grace-jordan-elementary-school/52295"}
