Students have a comfortable space where they can go to reflect and recognize the emotions they are feeling. My students have began to feel more comfortable expressing their emotions and advocating for themselves when needing a moment to relax. When our Zen Zone was put together, my students had a plethora of questions! Mainly, what was it and how can they use it effectively. Throughout the year, our Zen Zone was a big hit and my students were very appreciative of it. \r\n\r\nThe next steps for my students are mainly regulating their emotions and learning how to react when they aren't feeling their best. I believe this is a vital skill they will need throughout life and learning it now will be their benefit. I've noticed that at this age students are very reactive without reflection first. My main objective was to create a safe place for my students to experience and identify that specific emotion, reflect on their actions if it was a negative or reactive one, take some deep breaths and reflect on how they can respond bette when feeling those emotions.","fullyFundedDate":1724631246028,"projectUrl":"project/second-grade-zen-zone/8684904/","projectTitle":"Second Grade Zen Zone","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Snipes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9646231_orig.jpg?crop=2750,2750,x0,y660&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724522551786","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9646231"},{"teacherId":9672895,"projectId":8769161,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your kindness and generosity.
