The students that I serve and others that I mentor need a calm spot for when they are feeling anxious, angry, or frustrated so that they can cope with their emotions in a healthy way. Several of the staff have attended Compassionate Schools training and are looking for resources to help our students who have experienced trauma in their lives. I am planning on setting up these resources such as aromatherapy diffusser, stress relief balls, and color templates for meditation and relaxation in an area in my room and students will be taught how to use these when they feel like they need to take a five minute break. They will use the timer to manage their time in the calm spot and they will choose one of the resources to help them to calm down. It is important to teach students how to recognize their emotions and to show them ways they can cope with their feelings in a productive way.
