Help Mrs. Nazloyan Create a Calm Corner!

Help me give my students a social, emotional, and calming corner to relax and unwind by sitting on the couch, reflecting on their emotions away from everyone else, and then getting back to instruction.

My Project

I am requesting a calm corner for my 9th-grade students when they need a few minutes to decompress their emotions and unwind from their busy day. This dedicated space would provide a serene environment where students can take a break, refocus, and manage stress, ultimately enhancing their academic performance and overall well-being.

Adolescents often face significant emotional and academic pressures, and having a calm, quiet place to retreat to can help them regulate their emotions and return to their tasks with renewed concentration and energy.

I believe this small but impactful addition to our classroom will support our students in achieving their full potential.
