Calming Area
Funded Feb 3, 2023As our deliveries started coming in, my students were SCREAMING with excitement! They felt like every day was like our own personal Christmas. I have used our new resources to create two beautiful calming spaces in our classroom. Now, when students are having a rough time or just need a moment to themselves, they know where to turn. They have soft lighting, seating, pillows, plushies, fidgets, and many tools to support their independent emotional regulation. Even scholars from outside of our class are excited to explore the calming area whenever they pop in to our class! It is such a magical space, so we are extremely grateful for the donors that brought it to life.”

Support Our Early Readers!
Funded Feb 23, 2022My scholars from both last year have loved our new reading materials!! The seating squares gives us the comfort of a rug, which much more flexibility. Students use them during read-alouds, phonics instruction, and "cozy reading time". During this reading time, students can choose any spot in the whole room, so the squares have been used very creatively in almost every area of the room! They have so much fun using the sight word string-ups, play-doh, unifix CVC cubes, and letter magnets all during literacy centers! These materials really make our learning environment feel playful and exciting. Thank you so much for supporting such deserving early readers.”
