Funded Aug 13, 2021I just wanted to take a moment and thank you from the bottom of my heart. My students were soo surprised with the bubble fish tube and jellyfish lamp! We opened the package that day and put it together as a class family.
We use both the bubble fish tube and the jellyfish lamp in the peace/calming corners of our classroom. The peace corners are used when a student has become overwhelmed with emotions and would like to take a moment to return back to a peaceful state. They sit in front of the jellyfish lamp or fish tank and take three calming breaths and watch the fish/jellyfish swim. Allowing their brain to focus on the fish and not their anger/sadness allows them to calm down and return to instruction.
I love that my students are able to recognize they need to go to the peace corners. They take pride in making sure we turn them on and off each day, make sure the area is tidy, and ready to be used. It has been truly phenomenal the impact these corners have had on my classroom. I cannot thank you enough for providing peace to my students and my class. We appreciate it beyond words!
Our next project will be working on getting sensory bins in our classroom to help with fine and gross motor skills.”
With gratitude,
