My Project

Every classroom needs a calm down corner with materials that can help the student understand why they are feeling the way they are!

Little Kindergarteners with Big Feelings can need help regulating and understanding their emotions!

The materials in this calm down corner will help all students who are in needs of a little nurturing and understanding. Rainbow tubes, sensory tubes, emotion regulators and mindful mazes will support my young learners with emotion regulation in a fun and interactive way! I can't wait to watch my young learners develop and grow using strategies that they can use throughout their entire lives!
