In my school, almost all students are below the poverty line, this being said a lot of students have certain emotional strains. My school has adopted a conscious discipline behavior plan. Conscious discipline believes that students should be able to remove themselves from a stressful situation before it escalates. I aim to create a community in my classroom, where we have morning and afternoon meetings on a rug to talk about our day, and our feelings, I want to supply them with stress relief which will include weighted items, fidget tools, and a calming sound machine. School can be overwhelming to students and I want to create a safe space that my students can go and escape from the scary feelings they might have.
