As a School Counselor, I help students work through and cope with difficult emotions. Many of the items in this box are valuable tools students use to descalate, calm down, and get to a place where they are able to process and talk openly about whatever problems and emotions are triggering them. Once students are given space, time, and tools to calm down, it is much easier for them to talk and process their feelings. Calm Down Boxes will include materials such as "My Moods, My Choices Flipbook" to help students identify how they are feeling, magnetic drawing boards to give students the option to draw how they feel, and a variety of sensory materials to hold and squeeze. I'll also create a few materials such as a "Calm Down Jar", where they can watch the glitter fall to the bottom, and laminated mini coping skills strategies, that give students options on how to process the emotions they are having. Our teachers work very hard to make Social Emotional Learning a part of our everyday curriculum, and these Calm Down Boxes will enhance that effort.
