As I teach my preschoolers more about mindfulness and calming strategies , there is now more of a need for them to have an accessible, safe, and cozy space to go to when they recognize they need a break. This space can be used when they feeling overwhelmed, tense, sad, frustrated, or when they want to read a book quietly. My hope is that when they recognize they need a few minutes to themselves and take their break, they will then be ready to join their friends again and be ready to learn. The canopy, bean bags chairs, and comfy sensory cushions will help my students use the skills they have learned from mindfulness lessons and calming strategies. The items will provide them with the opportunity to retreat to a safe, comfy place to regroup and come out with a fresh start. With your generosity we can ensure my students can have Calming Retreat in their classroom.
