Support Ms. Steptoe's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
I teach some of the most loving and talented students in the world. However, a lot of my students suffer from extreme behavior problems due to traumatic events. They also lack parental support which causes them to act out at times.
These materials will allow me to create a cool down/counselor's corner in my classroom. It will give them a safe space to reflect on their actions and figure out ways to make better decisions in the future. This will also help eliminate missed instructional time. Flexible seating, sensory objects, as well as positive quotes will hopefully allow them to quickly calm down and return to class. The bean bags will be used as a flexible seating option within the cool down area. They will be placed on a warm comforting rug within the cool down area. The bookshelf will be used to house inspirational quotes, pictures, books, sensory objects, as well as reflective notes.
