My Project

This year more than every I would like to create a safe space classroom to help my students learn to self regulate and learn the appropriate strategies. This type of environment would allow my students the ability to function throughout the school day and even when they get home. This year more than ever I have noticed my adolescents student have been coming in with poor mental health issues such as anxiety.

Anxiety has taken over my classroom making the school day hard for students to regulate and use positive outlets to get through the school day.

The supplies in my cart, giant floor pillows, privacy screens and foam floor tiles, would allow my students the opportunity to learn the right way to regulate even on their hardest of days.

Please help fund my project so my students can have the best year yet.
