Giving Students the Skills to Regulate Their Emotions

Help me give my students a functioning calming corner. Alternative seating is a must when addressing SEL. My students will benefit from being able to reset themselves in an area they feel safe.

My Project

This year as a school, the focus is on restorative practices to build strong relationships with kids. I am on board with this and need your help to give my students the best tools for success. I am a first-year behavior interventionist looking to create a safe space that my students can use to regulate their emotions. I also need tools to help the space be welcoming, so I am requesting relationship activities and games for the students to play. As I learn to guide the students using restorative practice skills, having a space and tools will give us all a place to start.
