Thanks to you, our classroom now has a dedicated space where students can practice self-regulation and build healthy coping skills. The sensory tools, coloring pages, and other resources have been invaluable in helping students navigate their emotions. When they feel overwhelmed or need a moment to reset, they now have a peaceful space to reflect, breathe, and return to their work with renewed focus and calm.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the calm-down corner, their excitement was contagious! They immediately wanted to explore the new materials and take turns using the space. It quickly became a regular part of our routine, and it's heartwarming to see how the students have embraced it. They now know that it's okay to step away for a moment when they're feeling big emotions, and this has helped create a more supportive and empathetic classroom environment.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are continuing to incorporate emotional regulation into our lessons, using the calm-down corner as a tool to help students engage in mindful activities that promote self-awareness. In our current project, we're focusing on building resilience and understanding emotions through stories and discussions. Your support is making a real difference in the emotional well-being of our students—thank you again for being a part of this journey!","fullyFundedDate":1726157097353,"projectUrl":"project/serenity-space-equipping-our-classroom/8728991/","projectTitle":"Serenity Space: Equipping Our Classroom Calm-Down Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9722975_orig.jpg?crop=2247,2247,x423,y1028&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725161067833","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9722975"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98188","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":232,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.6,"schoolId":98188,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Segue Institute for Learning on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Segue Institute for Learning","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/rhode-island/rhode-island-department-of-education/segue-institute-for-learning/98188"}
