Sensory Support

Help me give my students materials that will help them to calm down. We love to provide a space for them to be able to regulate their emotions.

My Project

We like to have a spot for students to calm down in our classroom. Some students deal with frustration differently than others and we always want to maintain a safe place for them to reset.

I've started a calm down corner in my classroom where emotionally charged students can take a break, reflect and regroup in a quiet space.

This usually works and we can return back to learning within a short amount of time. Having this space in my classroom has been a game changer for my students! I appreciate all the help that I can get for this project!
