A Peaceful Place

My Students

Young learners are often the most excited, interested, and inquisitive!! As children enter into their first years of school, it is of utmost importance to guide them through how to handle big feelings.

"When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, not join their chaos," -LR Knost.

Building a sense of trust, partnership, and respect will help them to see their individual strengths and gifts, and allow them to build upon them! When children can learn to handle out of control emotions, they are better equipped to succeed in class and form positive bonds with peers.

My Project

Utilizing books and stories, we will explore our big feelings while learning how to self-regulate our emotions. Students will be provided with a safe place to learn about and explore ways to self soothe and calm down.

Through the use of multi-sensory techniques and materials, each individual student will be supported in discovering what works best for them: listening to music, playing with putty, sitting with a weighted blanket, watching a sensory bottle, etc.

Once the students are ready to return to work, they will complete a self-assessment (pictures for the pre-k/kindergarten students, short responses for the 1st graders) where they will reflect on what worked best for them, and how they are feeling. Students will be allowed to discover and explore with the guidance and support of myself.
