My Project

Please help my class create a calm space for students to go when they need to calm down or refocus. My students can sometimes feel overwhelmed during the school day, and it is important that they have a space where they can go to reset and calm down. This calm down space will help my students refocus and reset so they can be ready to learn the rest of the day.

My goal with this project is to create a safe place for students to feel calm when they are experience big emotions.

It will be a spot in the classroom that is calm and relaxing for the students. The materials in this project include many items that will help students regulate their emotions. Please help give my students materials to create a calm down corner in our classroom.
