Funded Aug 13, 2024To: Donors and Google.org Teen Mental Health Initiative. Thank you so much for your donations to my classroom. I have a sensory-friendly area where students can regulate themselves when they're feeling overwhelmed or stressed and it's a game-changer.
High school can be a stressful place for teenagers. It can be especially tough for 9th graders making the transition from middle school. When students come into my class, the Calming Corner is an inviting place for them. The basket chairs covered in Sherpa fabric are soft and fluffy making them an instant hit with students needing a warm and cozy space.
The Warmies arrived and my students love them. They are heatable scented stuffed animals. These stuffed animals provide a sense of familiarity for my students. The soft texture and gentle aroma offer comfort during stressful moments. It's nice to see the students hugging the warmies
As a Special Education High School Teacher, I appreciate having these calming tools in my classroom. These tools will help students learn to manage their emotions, process feelings, and develop mindfulness skills.
A heartfelt thanks for providing my students these Warmies. Your contribution has made a positive impact in my classroom that will continue throughout the year!”
With gratitude,
Ms. C
