My Project

As a first-year special education teacher, I am committed to fostering a supportive environment for my students who struggle with emotional regulation. A crucial aspect of this endeavor is the establishment of a Calm Corner, a haven where students can retreat to regain composure. However, to make this space truly effective, I need your support in donating Calm Corner supplies. I have received donations of pillows, blankets, and a tent, but there are still a few supplies needed to allow this space to reach its full potential.

Imagine the impact of providing sensory tools, soft cushions, and calming visuals to these students.

Your contribution will directly enhance their ability to self-regulate, ensuring a more conducive learning atmosphere for everyone. By investing in our Calm Corner, you are not just donating supplies; you are investing in the emotional well-being of these exceptional students, empowering them to navigate challenges and thrive academically.

Together, let's create a haven where emotions find solace and learning flourishes. Your generosity will make a lasting difference in the lives of these remarkable students.
