Help Our Calming Corner!

Funded Aug 28, 2019

Hello from Mrs. Michaels Kindergarten class. We have survived the back-to-school craziness and are settling nicely into routines.

It was an exciting and at times bumpy road to get here. This has been the first school experience for most of our kindergarteners and it has taken some time for them to adjust. The supplies that you funded for our classroom were such a big help during this transitional time. Here is one story:

There was one child who would cry every day for his mom. Nothing I could do would soothe him. The only thing that helped was when he would go to our calming corner. He would sit in one of the bean bag chairs and hold one of the sensory balls and just stare at it. I started sending another kid to sit with him and they would both stare at the balls and talk. Eventually they became friends and that also helped him to feel more comfortable. He is doing much better but from time to time will ask to go back and sit there for awhile.

There are many more stories I could tell you. I can not thank you enough for doing this for our class. The children and I are very grateful!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Michaels
