Learning to regulate our emotional responses, especially during times of stress, can be difficult. As children return to school post-pandemic they will need more support with regulating emotions. Calm-down corners in classrooms give children a semi-private space to identify feelings, self-regulate, and re-focus on learning. My calm-down corner will include a comfortable place to sit, fidget objects, and visual reminders about breathing exercises. It will also include posters, books, and plush toys from Diane Alber's Little Spot series, which I will teach throughout the year. With your help, students will learn that emotional self-regulation is a normal part of life and will practice skills that will benefit them at school and at home for the rest of their lives.
