This space helped many children learn to self-regulate and return to class activities with a clearer mind and a more positive attitude.\r\n\r\nThe students truly loved the calming corner and often spoke about how much they appreciated having a place where they felt safe and understood. The soft beanbag and cozy carpet made it especially inviting, offering a sense of comfort that helped ease their minds and bodies. Whether they needed a few quiet minutes or a longer break, the calming corner provided the right environment to help them return to their day feeling more in control and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1736855078403,"projectUrl":"project/calming-corner/8791729/","projectTitle":"Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9160811_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691183992091","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9160811"},{"teacherId":9490424,"projectId":8724957,"letterContent":"Everyone has been LOVING this new addition to the music rooms!!

The look is fantastic, but overall what I like is the efficiency and practicality of them.\r\n\r\nThe students can get to the ukuleles a lot quicker. The ukuleles were sitting on the floor in boxes that were developing wear and tear each time they were used.
