Throughout the day, my scholars intentionally use this area to breathe, reflect, and regulate their emotions, giving them the tools to return to learning with clarity, courage, and confidence.\r\n\r\nAlso, this space empowers my scholars to pause before frustration becomes a barrier, to reset when emotions feel overwhelming, and to practice healthy coping strategies they can carry far beyond the learning environment. By offering soft seating, sensory tools, emotional conversation blocks, reflection wall (TGIF), and visual SEL guides, the calm corner nurtures self‑awareness, resilience, and independence.\r\n\r\nLastly, scholars now advocate for their own emotional needs. They choose this space proactively, demonstrating maturity, responsibility, and a growing mastery of self‑management. As a result, I see fewer shutdowns, stronger focus, improved peer interactions, and a noticeable rise in their confidence.\r\n\r\nI am tremendously grateful for you all (donors) who believed in my scholars and invested in their emotional growth. Your kindness created a space where they feel safe, supported, and empowered. Because of you all, they have a daily refuge that teaches courage, builds confidence, and helps them reset with dignity. Your support is felt every single day in every calm breath, every brave choice, and every moment my scholars returns to learning ready to rise.\r\n\r\nI thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1781496698796,"projectUrl":"project/a-calm-corner-for-courage-confidence-an/10317224/","projectTitle":"A Calm Corner for Courage, Confidence and Emotional Reset","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buckley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8068349_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1780622938660","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8068349"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74959","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":688,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":86,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":47.6,"schoolId":74959,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oak View Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oak View Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dekalb-county-school-district/oak-view-elementary-school/74959"}
