My Project

Students in our classrooms demonstrate many different and unique ways to show their emotions. However, sometimes it's difficult to overcome our negative feelings and we need a space to turn to cope with our emotions. We need a space in the classroom to turn to so we have a designated area to manage our feelings filled with throw pillows and calming toys. This project will help create a calm area for students to use in the classroom when they have difficulty managing their emotions. We hope that this area can help us with our social and emotional needs.
