My Project

The "Break Basket" is a thoughtful resource designed specifically for students with special needs who may require additional time to regulate their emotions and behaviors within the classroom environment. This individualized basket provides a dedicated space for students to take breaks when they feel overwhelmed or need to calm themselves.

Benefits of the Break Basket:

Emotional Regulation: By offering a safe space to decompress, students can manage their emotions more effectively, allowing them to return to learning with a clearer mindset.

Promotes Independence: Students learn to recognize their own needs and take the initiative to use the Break Basket, fostering a sense of self-awareness and independence.

Enhances Focus: Short breaks can improve overall focus and concentration when students return to their tasks, ultimately supporting their academic success.

Reduces Anxiety: Providing a calming resource helps to reduce anxiety levels, creating a more positive classroom atmosphere for all students.

Implementing the Break Basket in the classroom not only supports students with special needs but also promotes an inclusive environment, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
