Over the past few years, we have been looking into the research behind Social Emotional Learning (SEL). We are learning that if students or people in general, understand their emotions and feelings, that they will be better equipped for life. Students who can learn to identify their feelings and learn how to either neutralize that feeling or express themselves in a positive way, the learning environment of the classroom will be a better place. In other classrooms that I have had, my rooms have been smaller and I could not create adequate space for a dedicated "Cozy Corner." Now in this classroom I have more space to create a space for children who "need a break" or needs a minute to gather their emotions. This dedicated space is for the children. In this space they have a couch and a small rug. The things that I want to add are fluffy soft beanbags, a larger carpet and plush animals. The theme for the corner is Under the Sea so all the things in that corner reflect the colors and the objects that could be found in the sea. Everything in the space is for the child to use to either calm down, identify their feelings and then to move on. With PreK this space is so important. We are teaching from day 1 that the children can use this space whenever they need. We have seen children who come to school crying and upset over separation, use this space to be alone, calm down and get ready to face the day!
