Many of my students, who are learning to manage big emotions related to their Autism diagnosis, now have a safe and inviting space where they can pause, regulate, and return to learning with focus.\r\n\r\nThe Calm Down Corner includes soft seating, a cozy rug, calming posters, and sensory tools like fidget toys. From the very first day, students naturally gravitated toward it. What's remarkable is how quickly they become calm when using it. The space is inviting, peaceful, and fulfilling exactly the purpose it was designed for — to give students ownership of their emotions in a safe, supported way.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are developing self-awareness and healthy strategies for emotional regulation. This not only reduces disruptions but also creates a more positive and focused learning environment for everyone. The impact goes beyond academics — it's about giving children lifelong tools to understand themselves and thrive.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your kindness in making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1750774714403,"projectUrl":"project/calm-down-corner-for-emotional-wellness/9349801/","projectTitle":"Calm Down Corner for Emotional Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5665462_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747078685011","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5665462"},{"teacherId":8607330,"projectId":9190892,"letterContent":"When the pencil and crayon sharpeners and mini sweepers arrived, my students were so excited—they immediately wanted to test them out! We had a quick classroom demo, and their eyes lit up when they realized they could now sharpen their supplies quickly and clean up after themselves with ease. It may seem simple, but having reliable sharpeners and dusters has made a huge difference in how smoothly our classroom runs.\r\n\r\nThese tools have empowered students to take more responsibility for their materials and classroom space.

We set up a small, organized snack station in our classroom, and it quickly became an essential part of our daily routine. Whether it's during our morning work, small group instruction, or independent reading time, students know they can grab a healthy snack when they need it. This has reduced distractions and improved focus across the board.\r\n\r\nThese snacks have done more than curb hunger—they've created a more supportive, responsive learning environment. With their basic needs met, students are more present and willing to participate in lessons. As we continue working on our different units, I noticed a shift in stamina; students are more willing to collaborate, and work for longer stretches of time.
