My Project

My students would love a place to sit when they are reading their books, or when they are feeling sad and miss their families. A couch in the classroom would provide a great spot for the children to come to when they need it. Just like adults, children often need a break. Their sensory systems are easily overloaded for all different kinds of reasons. Just think about it, how many times do you find yourself saying “you’re okay” to a child who is frustrated, angry, or overwhelmed? The thing is, they’re not okay at that moment, and pushing aside their feelings may just intensify them. Instead, wouldn’t it be better to say, “I can see that you’re frustrated right now. If you feel like you need a break, you can have a minute in the cozy corner.” With this type of modeling, children will learn that when they are overcome with emotions, they can ask for a break. For this reason, a cozy corner is a very important part of any preschool classroom.
