Self regulation is key in the classroom, some of my students need to leave the classroom and enter a safe space for them to learn techniques to stay calm and learn to self regulate when feeling they are about to "lose control" and head into the "red zone". Having a calming environment will help these students when they are deregulated. These light covers will help set a calm atmosphere for my students, along with fidget toys, a bean bag chair, a weighted lap pad, a tent, and other tools easily accessible in the Compass Room. Fidget toys will be used to keep the hands of students busy while talking about the scenario that has recently happened. Weighted lap pads are often a good sensory tool for students to feel grounded and safe. The light covers will be amazing to dim the lights and have a calming effect.
