We have worked hard to build a trauma informed environment for our students over the past few years and a big part of that has been creating calm down areas that are sensory rich. These spaces are areas that students can go to in order to express their feelings and return to a calm and ready to learn state without ever having to leave the classroom. These types of areas are important in every classroom, but especially in the Special Education classroom where we work on self awareness and emotional management skills. These items will help me to support my student's sensory needs, as well as give me much needed organization for my already existing sensory items. Students can use the sensory wall, lego sets, and tiles to help when they are emotionally escalated. The drawers and carts will help keep the items organized and easy to keep clean (keeping things clean and sanitized at all times is so very important during these times). Finally, the dry erase paper notebooks will be useful to my students who benefit from being able to draw out or write to express their needs and emotions.
