These resources have already made a big difference for my students. One student who often feels anxious before tests now spends a few quiet minutes on a yoga mat to stretch and breathe, returning to class calmer and ready to focus. Another loves using the bean bag chair during independent reading, sharing that it helps him \"feel comfortable enough to get lost in the book.\" These flexible seating options have given students meaningful choices in how they learn and the confidence to use them responsibly.\r\n\r\nThe calming supplies have also become a trusted part of our routine. During a challenging group project, one student asked to use the calming corner; after a short break with a stress ball and quiet space, she returned ready to contribute again. By having designated areas for one-on-one work, calming breaks, and flexible seating, students are not only staying engaged academically but also learning how to manage their emotions with independence and accountability. Your generosity has created a safe, supportive environment where students can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1662344100433,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-safe-space/6802062/","projectTitle":"Creating a Safe Space","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Willis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8678808_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662619319754","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8678808"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108642","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":370,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":79,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.2,"schoolId":108642,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brookland Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brookland Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/dc-public-schools/brookland-middle-school/108642"}
