The Calming Corner

Funded Feb 16, 2023

Thank you so much for your contribution to our Calming Corner. Our students are coming from various backgrounds and have different challenges that they overcome on a daily basis. Some may not understand the importance of a "calming corner" or consider it distracting, but as an English teacher, I found that the items were actually helpful.

The Calming Corner was implemented as a reward system, but also as a place of restoration. The fidgets were used during reading time. This helped the students stay on task. There was also much improvement in class discussions. When students were done with their assignments, they were able to sit on the bean bags. Our "Students of the Week" sat on the bean bags throughout the week. This gave them much pride and something for other students to look forward to on a weekly basis.

Thank you again for your contribution. Our students enjoy every second in The Calming Corner.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Stevenson
