The bins have been especially helpful in giving students a clear structure, so they always know what goes in where. This has made transitions much quicker and reduced confusion or downtime.\r\n\r\nSome students who are usually more anxious or overwhelmed seemed especially drawn to the calming area. They were eager to explore the new space and quickly began using it appropriately—taking breaks when needed and returning ready to learn. It truly helped create a sense of ownership and comfort in our classroom.\r\n\r\nAcademically, students will be working on small group activities and hands-on learning tasks, using the flexible seating to support collaboration and focus. At the same time, we are incorporating more social-emotional learning—teaching students how to recognize their emotions and use the calming space as a strategy to regulate themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1767225980621,"projectUrl":"project/a-calming-classroom/9677576/","projectTitle":"A Calming Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kalan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10234621"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126874","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":70,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":52,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":126874,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Linden Park Early Childhood Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Linden Park Early Childhood Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/columbus-city-school-district/linden-park-ecec/126874"}
