My Project

Our students have faced difficult challenges since Covid-19 has affected their education system. Whether this has been financial matters, family experiences, accessing zoom or something else, our students have faced difficulties expressing their needs and emotion

Items selected will help our young scholars achieve their best sense of self at school.

The Calming Area will allow those that enter the school a chance to reflect and communicate their emotions and needs to peers and adults within the room. We want our students to feel welcomed regardless of where they come from.

Our young scholars can use these materials and tools to express themselves. For example, using the tee turtle to communicate how they feel when entering the room. As early educators we look forward to helping our scholars achieve growth and over come challenges.
