My Project

Students will be provided with a safe space to regulate their emotions and calm their bodies and minds when they need to relax themselves.

The area can help them to regain their composure with opportunities to problem solve and make better choices.

This will help students to regulate and get back into the classroom routine. This space will have soft beanbags, fidget toys, calming posters, mindfulness cards and books, play-doh, legos and other brain calming toys. Students will be able to access these tools within the classroom setting. Thank you.

Mrs. Markor Dahlia Heights Elementary School Grades 3-5
