The materials that I was able to add helped me make a space for students to go when they are feeling like they want to chill, decompress, or have a few minutes alone. We are still working on introducing the use of materials, and have been including breathing strategies as they manipulate things such as wikki sticks, or the sensory mat. The weighted lap dog has been a hit as children will read a story while holding him on their lap.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the cozy corner they were thrilled, and shared, \"You got this... for us????\" My heart was full, and the joy and appreciation from my students was immediate.\r\n\r\nI was able to rearrange my classroom to put the cozy corner near our pet turtle, which feels like a perfect fit. Students have just gone to the area, and relaxed while watching him swim or bask on his platform.","fullyFundedDate":1733331706079,"projectUrl":"project/big-feelings-no-problem-settle-into-a/8650557/","projectTitle":"Big Feelings?
