Calming Area

My Project

My students are a group of fourth graders who are energetic and ready to learn. At times, some get frustrated and do not know how to express their feelings.

Help me give them a calming corner in our class they can go to and regroup themselves.

Sometimes dealing with feelings can be very confusing. They can hear music to calm down, sit on a comfy chair and play with a toy or read a book that will help ease their feelings. Once they are done, they can come back and join the class.
