My Project

We have a brand new integrated classroom that services 32 students with varied needs. Preschool students are at the age where they still need some additional support self-regulating their emotions. We hope to create a safe space in the classroom for those students to take time by themselves to process those BIG feelings. Students will use this space to identify and regulate their feelings to promote success in the classroom.

Children who are feeling emotional and overstimulated may choose to use the Hideaway as a safe place to regulate.

It is so important that the emotional needs of students are taken care of. This will create a safer environment for the students needing support, and the rest of the students in the classroom as well. I want my little learners to learn and know strategies to cope with big feelings in order to be successful as they mature and continue to develop!
