How can a child learn when their emotions are in the way? Some feelings are visible, while others remain silent and go undetected when a child does not know how to express their feelings. As a teacher who has worked with students who have exceptionalities, I understand how it can be challenging to learn when you have anxiety, autism, and behavior issues linked to ADHD.
A calm-down corner is necessary when providing a safe space for my students to learn and enjoy learning without anything emotional getting in their way.
These fidgets and playdough help students transfer energy, such as anger, lack of concentration, and anxious thoughts. Students should always strive to reach their full potential in their learning environment with the support of emotional assistance.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
