In my classroom, I have tried to create a relaxing area that is set up in a different way than the traditional classroom. I currently have a rug that I brought from home, some small wooden chairs that were donated in memory of a former student, a relaxation fountain and four light filters. When a student is upset or is not working/participating in his/her classroom, the student often comes to me. I work with the student on calming strategies and my goal is to help the student get back to class. Often, before I can talk to him/her about what might be going on in his/her life, the student needs to feel relaxed and at ease. I sit on the rug and try to create a less formal environment. When the student feels comfortable, I have noticed that he/she is more likely to open up about what he/she might be upset by and/or going through, and then we can proceed. The rug will be a nice spot for us to sit and talk, where the students hopefully feel comfortable and can relax. The beanbag chair will offer a great alternative for them to sit and be comfortable. We have lights in our classroom that are very bright and the light filters will help create a soothing environment.
