My Project

Having a space for students to take a break when they are feeling overwhelmed is crucial to learning. Calming colors, soft spaces and support to talk about their emotions can help get them back on track. If a student cant say the word they are feeling, they can find the face that matches, and "walk in my shoes" can help them learn what others are feeling and how to explain their emotions to others. Giving them the area to support this will help them communicate how they are feeling and get the support they need.
