My students- from intermediate to middle school- love "projects" and especially need to express themselves when they are in emotional windstorms, because of unexpected challenges- a quiz they forgot to prepare for, grades taking a downward turn because of missing assignments, negative peer pressure, family life upheavals .
Coming to the Cool Down area and working on individual dry erase boards will allow them to vent, using their creativity.
It also allows them to practice their vocabulary in addition to their writing skills.
The boards will be completed with fidget tools they'll affix if they choose or with drawings that will be laminated for protection.
The finished project is something they will be able to take with them and use to deescalate in their room, so they won't lose much instructional or practice time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
