My Project

My students are amazing! They are little stars and are learning everyday. They come to school everyday with smiles on their faces and can brighten even the toughest days. My Pre-K class consist of General Education and Special Education students. They are learning to regulate and express their emotions.

A cozy/calm corner will give them all of the materials that they need to learn to regulate their emotions.

Pre-K can be a whirlwind of emotions, happy, sad, mad, frustrated, and more. My students are learning how to express those emotions and I want to provide them with the tools to do so.

I am requesting materials such as cozy rugs, sensory tents, posters, headphones, and more to help my students feel nice and calm in the classroom environment.
