My Project

Music Class is only 40 minutes once per week. We have to make the most out of every minute, even though we also have to transition into and out of the music room.

These items will help create and sustain peace in the music room by helping my students to self-regulate.

The brain model helps students to learn about how their brains work. Calm Strips help keep the entire class calm. The books and breathing exercise cards will be in the Peace Corner for students who need an extra boost in self-regulation.
