My Project

With the school closures and the pandemic, our students are living with a lot more fear and anxiety at school and home. They need to learn to manage and cope with their feelings that are sometimes overwhelming.

My calming corner will be used for the students to go to when the noises and things in the classroom are just too much and they need to regroup.

They will have a soft place to land and have some quiet time to breathe. They will be able to retreat to this corner to calm their feelings and their bodies.

Ms. Kang 186th Street Elementary School Grades PreK-2
