Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
A Champion For Learning - $1,065.00
Goal
To create a safe space where students can reduce stimuli when they are feeling stressed and emotionally overwhelmed.
What will be done with my students
The Zen Zone will be a specially designed, designated, and approved room in the school, used for the purpose of supporting a student in the implementation of self-regulation strategies, resulting in the reduction of challenging behaviors.
It will be a place of safety and comfort and may contain materials to assist the student in calming methods. This room will be supervised by an adult, at all times, when a student is present.
This will be a voluntary space for students to come to when they are feeling overwhelmed. It is NOT a "time out" room or a form of punishment.
Benefits to my students
A calming room can help alleviate stress and assist students in regulating emotions so they can re-focus to be a successful learner. This will contribute to the improvement of the overall school learning environment.
