My Project
My project is to create a positive, safe, calming corner in my classroom. Since returning to the classroom after COVID, my classroom carpet never made it back! Every child encounters a time when they experience overwhelming emotions. Without self-regulation or a safe place to escape, these emotions can spiral. Teaching children how to keep themselves in control in emotionally charged situations will help them enormously throughout their schooling and lives. When children feel great frustration, anger, sadness, or anxiety, they become confused and may be unsure of how to control their emotions. Giving students items such as the mazes or posters in the calm-down corner will be a great asset in helping students relax and not focus on anything in particular.
The goal is that the students learn to use the corner regularly and independently as a place for self-regulation when they feel they need to.
This practice leads to fewer outbursts and behavioral disruptions.
The calm-down corner will allow students to learn strategies to calm themselves down so they can return to learning in a better frame of mind.
More than half of students from low‑income households
