Help me give my students a calm and organized classroom. I need to revamp my calming corner and need more organizational materials to accommodate larger class sizes.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
This project will first focus on revamping calming corners in classrooms by providing essential materials such as sound machines, headphones, stress-relieving pillows, meditation toys, coloring books, and calm strips. These items are designed to create a peaceful and stress-free environment where students can manage their emotions effectively and regain focus when needed. Secondly, the grant will support the enhancement of classroom organization by providing additional mailboxes to ensure each student has their own designated space. This organizational improvement aims to streamline communication, enhance student accountability, and provide a sense of ownership and privacy for personal belongings. By implementing these measures, I aim to create a more structured and efficient classroom environment conducive to learning.
Students will benefit from improved emotional regulation and concentration, leading to enhanced academic performance and overall well-being.
Additionally, we will experience reduced classroom disruptions and improved organization, allowing us to focus more on instruction and individual student needs.
Ultimately, this project aligns with my commitment to providing a supportive and productive learning environment that maximizes the potential of every student, particularly in larger class settings where organization and emotional support are critical.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
