Students now have a designated space where they feel safe to take a break, breathe, and process their emotions without judgment. The iPad journaling tool has empowered them to reflect on their thoughts in a way that feels both personal and modern—meeting them where they are in a digital age.\r\n\r\nThis project has helped reduce disruptive behaviors and increased emotional self-awareness among students. When they feel overwhelmed, they now have a clear, constructive outlet to turn to. Several students have even shared that writing about their worries has helped them return to learning more focused and calm.\r\n\r\nThe overall climate of our classroom is more compassionate and emotionally intelligent. Students are not only more in tune with their own feelings, but they've also become more empathetic toward their classmates. This project has created a stronger, more connected learning environment—and for that, I'm incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746787356230,"projectUrl":"project/digital-calm-corner-to-support-classroom/9195794/","projectTitle":"Digital Calm Corner to Support Classroom SEL/RESET LAB","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mosby","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6754746_orig.jpg?crop=580,580,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696982863747","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jocelyn-mosby"},{"teacherId":7943153,"projectId":8245290,"letterContent":"I was so very pleased with the end results of this project.
