Having a calm space in my classroom has had a meaningful impact on my English Learners already by providing them with a safe, welcoming environment where they can regulate emotions, reduce stress, and build confidence. Learning in a new language can often feel overwhelming, especially when students are trying to process directions, academic content, and social interactions all at once.\r\n\r\nThis cozy, calming area has given my students an opportunity to pause, reset, and return to learning feeling more secure and supported. It also helps foster a sense of belonging and emotional safety, which is essential for language development and academic growth. When students feel calm and comfortable, they are more willing to participate, take risks with language, and engage with their peers and learning activities.","fullyFundedDate":1778670852594,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-and-calm-a-cozy-classroom-corne/10073289/","projectTitle":"Comfort and Calm: A Cozy Classroom Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lucarelli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp302961_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769786032512","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/302961"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62027","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":407,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":12,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":62027,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Franklin Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Franklin Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/franklin-public-school-district/horace-mann-middle-school/62027"}
