As part of the curriculum and my classroom routine, we focus heavily on mental health. The majority of my students live in lower income areas. Some of my students have been through a lot of personal trauma. For most of my students, coming to school is the only time they can have a mental break from the home environment. The listening center will be implemented in several ways. We are currently introducing conscious discipline into our daily routine and would love to add that to our quiet area as well as a make it option for our "Wild Things Area Quiet Box". (This box will have the Magna-Tiles, sensory dough and more.) This is an area where several of the items listed will be used to help a child calm down or regroup their thoughts during the time they may need to rest alone or just work independently on literacy, fine motor, and cognitive.
