  • Let's Get Printer Perfect!

    Funded Feb 16, 2022

    Our color printer allowed us to print student pictures, add visuals to anchor charts and create lovely bulletin board displays. Thank you for allowing me to be able to provide vivid images to use during our daily instruction. Our Reggio inspired classroom uses only splashes of color to influence student moods, health and performance. Certain colors can capture attention, increase alertness, or create calmness. We were able to create memory books, end of year keepsakes and print pictures for families to take home at the conclusion of the school year.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. DeMarinis

  • Getting Cozy In Our Classroom

    Funded Sep 10, 2021

    Since we have been funded, the library/cozy corner center has been occupied throughout the day. To introduce student to the new and improved cozy corner, I read the social story, I Can Calm Down When I am Upset. After we read the book, I took out one thing from the calm down kit/fidget box, like a stuffed animal or something they can squeeze. We took turns pretending to be upset and squeezing the squishy to calm down. Students enjoy going there to calm down, breathe and talk to teachers about their feelings. Students love to sit on the new chairs and ask to use the pillows during nap time. My students truly find comfort in the cozy corner, it is our classroom safe zone.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. DeMarinis

Students will be able to lay down and relax on cozy plush rugs and pillows while they take the time to settle into their new classroom. The cozy corner display pictures of their families, books to read and sensory toys to play with. A cozy corner learning center provides a safe place for students to go where they can calm down when they’re feeling mad, sad, nervous, or experiencing any big emotion. Self-regulation helps children to learn, behave well, get along with others and become independent. They will love to visit our new and improved cozy corner to practice these important life skills!
