Need To Take a Breath

Funded Sep 5, 2024

I wanted to take a minute to thank you all again for your generosity to our classroom. Having the calming corner is a welcome sight and respite for the students. When in need, students know they an option to go to the corner to regroup and escape for a few minutes from what is going on in the room.

Twice this week it was used for different, yet just as important occasions. One student that was struggling to stay on task and took a few minutes to step away, use some of the tools in the corner to help refocus. They were able to return to their desk and complete the task at hand. Another student was getting overwhelmed by a group project and asked to use the calming corner to get away from the situation for a moment. That student followed some of the calming steps posted in the calming corner and felt ready to go back to the project.

As students become more familiar with this as a resource, they are finding it comforting to know they have a a space to rely on, learn from and regroup.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Crumbley
