Every school day I have the pleasure of working with 21 enthusiastic eight and nine year old students. These third graders brighten my day with their stories and creativity. Their inquisitive minds are curious about learning new skills. They come to school each day enthusiastically and ready to take on new academic challenges.
Third graders love to learn new things, but are also full of energy!
We work on building a caring classroom community. I aim to help foster a life-time love for learning.
My Project
This year, more than ever, children need social/emotional support. I would like to provide a space in my classroom that students can use when they need the strategies necessary to self-regulate their emotions and feelings.
Creating a calming corner will allow students to use tools and strategies in order to recoup control of their emotions.
This positive place will reward students for keeping their emotions in check, so that learning can occur. By providing books, visual timers, self-regulating visuals, and sensory items, students will feel safe while calming their emotions.
