Since receiving our wonderful gifts, we have had a huge social emotional shift in our classroom. With a calm corner that can help students actually calm down, refocus and join the class again has yielded amazing results.\r\n\r\nOffice referrals are down significantly! The last classroom referral I wrote was on October 1st. Since then students have been using our calm corner and the skills their learning during SEL time to curb their own behaviors and focus on their learning. This change has gone beyond anything I could have ever imagined and it would never be possible without your gracious donations. Thank you for so gravely impacting my students lives.","fullyFundedDate":1758856137234,"projectUrl":"project/mx-knights-calm-corner/9743417/","projectTitle":"Mx.
