Building Calm in a Busy Classroom

Funded Feb 19, 2024

thank you so much for your generous gift to my first grade classroom this school year. A few of my students (who you will see in the photos) utilized this area daily. Not only did the quiet space help to regulate their emotions, many of whom were dealing with some pretty heavy stuff, but it also helped them to make connections with friends. These students helped each other through some tough times and were always supportive of one another.

I had combined the puzzle center with my quiet corner. By doing this it created less of a stigma to visit the corner and take a mental break for my students. Thank you for allowing them to deal with their heavy emotions in a very positive way.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. McRae
