Your donation has made a meaningful difference for my students by giving them a dedicated space where they can pause, regulate their emotions, and return to learning feeling more focused and supported.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the materials, students have been using the calming corner as a place to take mindful breaks, practice breathing techniques, and reflect when they are feeling overwhelmed. One special moment was when a student who was feeling frustrated chose to quietly step into the calming corner, use one of the tools, and return to class ready to participate again. It was powerful to see them take ownership of managing their emotions in such a positive way.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, they were incredibly excited and curious. Many of them immediately wanted to explore the items and talk about how they could use the space when they need a moment to reset. It quickly became a place they respect and value.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue incorporating the calming corner into our daily routines while also connecting it to lessons about emotional awareness, mindfulness, and self-management. My goal is to help students build lifelong skills for handling stress, communicating their feelings, and supporting one another in a positive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a classroom where students feel safe, supported, and cared for. Thank you again for investing in our students and their well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1767710659462,"projectUrl":"project/student-calming-corner-supporting-emoti/9624203/","projectTitle":"Student Calming Corner: Supporting Emotional Well-Being in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glenn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10189516_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757446432606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10189516"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73391","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":987,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":85,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"32.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":22.8,"schoolId":73391,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about River Rouge High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"River Rouge High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/river-rouge-school-district/river-rouge-mid-college-high-school/73391"}
