Help me give my students the opportunity to take a quick mental break. This calming area, with the chair and rug as the cornerstone, will help make this a reality.
The calming corner items in my project are to address a need that I see in upper middle school students. They work hard but are still processing their emotions. Sometimes, just a few minutes away from the crowd can help a student refocus and have time to process their feelings.
As an educator, I believe in whole person development.
Not only should we address academic needs but set space aside for their personal needs as well. The chair and rug will anchor the spot. The timer will allow them a few minutes of being undisturbed, and alert them to when it is time to rejoin the group.
Each item selected is meant to create a safe space that adds comfort and reassurance to my scholars.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
