Many of my special ed students struggle with behavioral issues. This makes it difficult for building/repairing relationships and to get them back into the mindset of being ready to learn. Since academics do not come easy to these students, it can become stressful for them when it is time to learn a new skill. This is especially difficult when they are in a heightened state. Providing them with a place to reset and a place where they can be comfortable enough to build relationships can help remove some of that stresses that come with approaching the day in an academic setting. I just got a classroom and would like to set up a space that helps my special ed. students thrive as they enter (and progress) through their 6th grade year. With a space to properly reset and decompress, the students will be more prone to getting back into the mindset of learning. Sensory items like puzzles, weighted puzzles, and fidgets can help my students refocus on their classroom tasks and relax when they become overwhelmed. When the students are calm and focused it helps with building relationships. Watching my students interact with each other while they play board games help with showing teachable moments for interacting with others. The students are observed in a setting where they can be comfortable and without teacher interaction. All of my students have social/emotional goals along with goals towards academics.
