Our classroom would greatly benefit from having a calming corner - a quiet, safe space where students can go to regulate their emotions and take a short break when feeling overwhelmed.
School days can be long and sometimes stressful - and having a designated area with calming tools like sensory items, soft seating, and soothing visuals can help students refocus and return to learning with a clear mind.
A calming corner is especially important in a classroom with students who have special needs. It provides a safe, supportive space where they can go to manage sensory overload, anxiety, or strong emotions without feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
