My Project

Some of our students benefit from visiting the calm down corner in my office. Students need fidgets, books, cards, games and sensory items to help them self-regulate so they can go back to the learning environment in their classroom.

The Calming Corner is a positive place that students can get their emotions in check so they can go back to the classroom.

The items requested in this project will be a great addition to items that they already have to access. It only takes five to ten minutes in some situations for students to self-regulate. This calm down area is a great resource that is very beneficial to my students.
