Located in North Wilkesboro, our elementary school students come from a variety of backgrounds and the vast majority of our students receive free/reduced-price lunch and are considered low socioeconomic families.
Our students come to school with many experiences that make it hard for them to utilize strategies to self-regulate their emotions.
We would like to provide them with opportunities and strategies to be mindful and reflective. We are hoping to change the way that students deal with stress, disappointment, and conflict by providing them space and time to practice calm-down strategies in school.
My Project
These materials will help me build a sensory-friendly setting for students when they are in need to a space to calm down during their school day. Light covers and soft seating will help students reset their brains and return to their classroom ready to learn.
Fidget tools will be provided to learners to help keep their minds and bodies focused and ready to learn.
This project will help students across grade levels to meet their social and emotional learning goals this school year. By creating a calm down space in our school and providing students with tools to keep focused, we are setting our students up for success.
