My classroom is a varying exception, self-contained, kindergarten and first-grade room. Quite a few of my students have been diagnosed with autism. My students often feel overwhelmed and need a place to go to retreat and calm down. This space will be filled with specially designed items to assist the students with their calm down strategies. It will be clearly designed to give the other students the knowledge that their friends needs some space and to let them be "just me" for a few minutes in the area. It will provide a wonderful retreat for gathering their thoughts and collecting themselves before returning to the group.
