Express Yourself at the Nurturing Nook

Funded Sep 16, 2024

Words cannot express my gratitude for your generous donation to my project. The nurturing nook is helping young scholars express themselves when they become overwhelmed, overstimulated, and frustrated. This week, a young scholar became frustrated and refused to participate in his classroom.

When the scholar arrived at the nurturing nook, he noticed the projector displaying images on the ceiling with calming lights. Then the scholar walked over to the bookshelf, took a stress ball, and became excited when he saw the bubble fish lamp. Once I observed the scholar becoming calm, I invited him to sit on the bean bag inside the teepee. After 15 minutes, The scholar was able to use the nurturing nook materials to calm down. In addition, the scholar was able to express his emotions in a safe way and return back to class.”

With gratitude,
