Our classroom now has a calm-down space, we call it \"Cappy's Calm Space\". As soon as the materials arrived, we organized the space and taught students how to use each tool. They quickly learned to reach for sensory items, fidgets, calming visuals whenever they needed a moment to reset.\r\n\r\nThe results have been wonderful. Students are managing their emotions more independently, returning to learning faster, and treating each other with more patience and kindness. Our classroom feels calmer, more supportive, and more focused because of these resources.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping my students build the emotional regulation skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
