My Project
The health and safety of my students are top priority in my books. Being an FSC classroom, my aides and myself have to be prepared for anything to change at the drop of a hat with any of our students. Therefore, we are hoping to transform an area of our room into a reset spot.
Everyone deserves a safe space to reset and decompress before continuing their day.
Sometimes my students have behaviors that they themselves are learning to control. Some one them have behaviors that could be a trigger for another students behaviors. We go out of our way to make sure everyone is getting the most learning with the least amount of behaviors but every day is different. We are hoping the mat and bean bag give the students options in comfort depending on their own stimuli. Some students like to lay on the ground and play with a manipulative whereas others may want to just sit quietly. The sticker books have become a hit in my room since last year. The students love it and choose to do a picture or two to reset. Plus it allows them to practice using their fine motor skills. Currently, we have a few of those pictures already lining the wall in the area we want to transform. We would love to have them add more.
Sometimes, we as staff have to sit with our students to help them calm down. Therefore, we'd like an area that helps us to help them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
