We are creating a calming room at our school. We would like to have a relaxing space where students can learn calming strategies, practice deep breathing, and engage in sensory experiences. The counselor and instructional aide in the room will guide students through coping strategies, help students process their emotions, and discuss ways to handle situations appropriately in the future. Calming tools help students focus on a sensory experience and bring their bodies and minds back to a calm state. The goal is to promote self-regulation skills to help students express emotions. Healthy emotional regulation is key to successful learning.
