A lot of our students at one time or another, get so overwhelmed by emotion that all they really need is a safe place to go and calm down, work through the emotions, and breathe. Right now in our classroom, we do not really have a designated space for the students to do that. We feel that this space, combined with the weighted blanket and soothing music that leans toward making better choices, would be a great asset in the classroom. Our students would be able to go to this space when they are feeling sad or angry or any other emotion that they are having trouble sorting out. We also have some other tools in the classroom that we would put in this space that can help them sort through their feelings, such as a feelings book, posters, and some conscious discipline resources.
