Calming Area
Funded Jan 11, 2023My students and I have utilized the resources provided by your donations greatly. My students are able to use the tools to help feel calmer, de-stress when coming to see me. I am able to provide student with a safe space that allows them to feel understood and supported. I often use these resources when students come to me feeling sad or anxious because it allows for them to have a few minutes to self-regulate and overall making it an effective session.
When my students first saw the materials they were in awe! They did not hide their excitement and hurried over to the calming area to see and feel everything. They expressed how cool everything was and were intrigued on how to use these tools. It opened up an opportunity to teach them about calming strategies.
My future plans for my students will be to provide classroom lessons educating them on these different tools. This will allow for a wider impact of student in the school. Teachers will also learn about these strategies and tools which will provide the opportunity for them to continue to implement them throughout the school year.”
