Calming Area

Funded Mar 31, 2024

We are thrilled to share the incredible impact that our new calming corner, complete with coloring supplies, building materials, and mindfulness activities, has had on our students. Your generosity has truly transformed our classroom environment and enhanced our students' learning experience in numerous ways.

The calming corner has become an essential part of our daily routine. Each day, students are given the opportunity to spend time in this space when they feel overwhelmed, need a mental break, or simply wish to engage in some quiet, creative activities. We've integrated the use of this space into our mindfulness practices, encouraging students to self-regulate and recognize when they need a moment to themselves.

The students were so excited for the official opening of the calming corner. They enjoyed exploring the different activities available to them. One student exclaimed, "This is the best thing ever! I can't wait to try everything!" This initial enthusiasm has continued, as students eagerly look forward to using the calming corner each day.

Our next steps include creating personal mindfulness journals where students can document their experiences and growth over time.

Thank you once again for your incredible support. Your generosity has made a significant difference in our classroom, providing our students with the tools they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are excited to continue sharing our journey with you as we grow and learn together.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Strohm
