My Project

It's time for a calming corner in my classroom! I have been using my classroom library corner as my calming corner. With these items, I can create a separate place for students to decompress, reflect and feel safe. I always do my best to make my classroom a warm and inviting environment for my students. I think creating this safe spot will take it to the next level. This area will serve as a space for students who need some time to reset their emotions and even try to identify their emotions. I hope you can help me with my endeavor!
