Calming Area
Funded Feb 16, 2023I want to thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom. Because of your generosity we were able to create a calm corner filled with tools like putty, books, sensory building blocks and fidget tools. When all of the boxes started coming in, they were so excited! It took a few days to get everything set up, but they were so looking forward to having a turn to experience the calm corner!
As a teacher, I love having an area where students can retreat to whenever they need it. They can read, draw, use the tools or just sit quietly when something is bothering them, they are upset, or they just need a little break from the day. It is so helpful to have a designated area to send them when they can't talk about what is wrong, but I can see they need some space.
We are enjoying our calming corner so much! I love that we have so many tools to help us, even when we don't know how to express our emotions. My hope is that having this area helps us learn that we all feel different things at different times, and even when we don't know how to deal with our feelings, there are things we can do to help us feel better.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lascano

I can’t believe I get to send this thank you to everyone for their support and I get to use these materials with my kiddos. Thank your for being so generous. Being a teacher is one of my greatest joys and such a huge challenge. Your donations will not only impact my teaching, but impact the learning of my 19 second graders. I am so grateful for each of you!”
