Many of my students come from traumatic home lives. In order for them to reach their highest academic goals they need to have ways to calm down and focus. In the resource room, my students need ways to destress before beginning a task. These students struggle throughout the day with tasks that are usually too difficult for them, even though a modified curriculum is used. They work so hard all day to just understand what is being asked of them. I would love to have a safe environment to learn. We use our time to learn calming techniques and then go into academics. It is so incredibly important for these students to feel safe.
