My Project

My “ Social Emotional Zen Zone” DonorsChoose project aims to create a welcoming and comforting classroom environment catering to the social, emotional, and sensory needs of my K-5th grade special education learners. This zone will provide a safe space where students can develop crucial life skills, academic skills and emotional regulation techniques. By integrating various academic supports, sensory tools, calming decor, and interactive activities, I hope to empower my students to thrive and succeed both academically and emotionally. Donors' contributions will directly impact the creation of this nurturing atmosphere, fostering a supportive learning environment that addresses the unique requirements of my special education students.
