I'm the School Counselor at an elementary school of approximately 480 students. The students at my school range in ages from 5 to 11. Students of this age are learning how to regulate their emotions and find strategies to help them in this process. I help the students learn cool down strategies, problem-solving, and mindfulness techniques during my monthly lessons. My students would greatly benefit from a place in their class room, a cool down, mindfulness spot that they can access anytime. My vision for this space is a quiet corner with a comfortable chair (saucer chair), a storage bin with different stress relieving toys, a 3-minute timer and a poster with steps to relaxing and collecting your thoughts before talking with an adult.
